Please join TAI in congratulating Jazmin on this exciting accomplishment.
Hye Jin Yoon, Ph.D., Assistant Professor of the Temerlin Advertising Institute, has been awarded a 2014 Meadows Summer Fellowship. The $6,000 award will allow Dr. Yoon to conduct research for two projects on social marketing communications: one promoting saving money with social norm information and the other on humor shame reduction in health communication.
Dr. Yoon has numerous published and forthcoming research papers on using humor to facilitate pro-social behaviors in advertising. She thanks the Meadows School of the Arts for giving her the opportunity to explore effective social marketing communications strategies as they can help educate the public on crucial issues, change public attitude for the better, and nudge people to take action.
Please join TAI in congratulating Dr. Yoon on receiving this fellowship award.

“We are proud of the work done by these imaginative and enthusiastic Temerlin students,” said Dr. Steve Edwards, chair of the Temerlin Advertising Institute. “There is no greater visibility for advertising students in Dallas than receiving these beautiful awards in front of 1000 professionals.”
Mackenzie Keck, an advertising/creative major with a double minor in film and graphic design, said she was thrilled to have won both a gold and Student Best of Show. “I am especially honored because there were so many outstanding student entries this year,” she said. “The creative program at SMU Temerlin has helped me so much – it provides well rounded training that most other schools don’t have. It lets us get an undergraduate degree and develop our portfolios at the same time.”
