New York, NY — The Institute for Public Relations (IPR) and Cision have awarded the Spring 2023 Cision Insights Fellowship award to University of Maryland graduate student Saymin Lee. Lee will receive a $1,200 stipend for publishing a solo-authored research paper on enterprise actors and how they communicate their emerging technologies.

The Cision Insights Fellowship, formally the Grunig PRIME Fellowship, is renowned for providing invaluable hands-on experience and mentorship to outstanding undergraduate or graduate students in the field of public relations, business, or communications. Award recipients receive free access to the Cision Insights software and mentorship from an experienced Cision Insights analyst. Lee will receive her award at the 2023 IPR Distinguished Lecture and Awards Dinner in New York City on November 30.

“We have chosen Saymin Lee out of a pool of highly accomplished candidates from esteemed universities across the nation,” said Chelsea Mirkin, Senior Vice President and Head of Global Analysis at Cision Insights. “This achievement is a testament to Lee’s outstanding academic prowess, dedication, and passion for the industry.”

Lee is a doctoral candidate in the University of Maryland’s department of communication. Her research on enterprise actors and how they communicate their emerging technologies is highly anticipated and timely. The final research paper and blog will be published in the IPR Research Letter and on the IPR website in the fall of 2023.
