A professor at SUNY Fredonia recently won an award from the Buffalo Broadcasters Association (BBA). Mike Igoe of the university's Department of Communication received the organization's Educator of the Year Award at its annual Hall of Fame ceremony on October 21st. Also at the ceremony, three of Igoe's former students received recognition from the BBA. Among them was Matt Volz, who has done color commentary and play-by-play on numerous WDOE sports broadcasts in recent years. Volz, who is currently with 97 Rock, received the BBA's Rising Stars Scholarship. Also, Patrick Ryan of WIVB-TV received the Best Use of Social Media Award, and Hope Winter -- also of WIVB-TV -- was nominated for Multimedia Journalist of the Year.
