Our pride is overflowing for SU-Newhouse alums who won or were nominated for Emmys this year, not only on individual merits but also for the broad spectrum of works that were recognized,” says Michael Schoonmaker, professor and chair of the Department of Television, Radio and Film. “Our alums reach all the corners of the entertainment industry when they go out into the world and they leave an unforgettable impact.

“And we will never forget Jacqueline Wilson, co-executive produced for ‘RuPaul’s Drag Race,’ took home yet another Emmy this year,” Schoonmaker says. “Sadly, Jacqueline passed away earlier this month. From day one, Jacqueline stood out with her talent, charisma and extraordinary ability to bring people together. Most importantly, Jacqueline always brought her heart, compassion and creative soul to her work.”
