Oakwood University Students Shine at NABJ
|
Posted By: Reginald Culpepper on August 18, 2025 Three of our students, Dalitso Kulemeka, Jonathan Walden, and Shane Dunkley, recently made their mark at the National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ) Convention, joining peers from across the nation to network, learn, and showcase their talents in media and communications. They represented the university with excellence while participating in workshops, connecting with industry professionals like Stephen A. Smith, and gained invaluable insight into the ever-evolving world of journalism and broadcasting. The experience provided not only a platform for skill development but also an opportunity to highlight the unique voices and perspectives of Oakwood’s student body.

Campus Sports Coverage Takes Center Stage In addition to their presence at NABJ, these students are making waves on campus with the production of a student-run campus network dedicated to covering Oakwood’s athletic events. Kulemeka, who initiated the idea, along with Walden and Dunkley credit Dr. Dwayne Cheddar, Associate Professor and Director of Oakwood University Broadcasting Network (OUBN) for helping get the idea off the ground. The initiative, which reports on games, player highlights, and campus sports culture, is quickly becoming a staple for students, alumni, and sports fans eager to stay connected. The students' work reflects a growing commitment to hands-on learning, storytelling, and school spirit—proving that Oakwood’s future in media is in good hands.
