2022 Kelly Somey Digital Marketing Scholarship Winner

Introducing the 2022 Kelly Somey Digital Marketing Scholarship Winner

It’s the seventh year of Union’s annual college <a href="https://union.co/articles/2022-kelly-somey-scholarship-application">scholarship</a> process, and we received many essays from applicants nationwide. We’d like to thank these high school seniors for sharing with us their passion for creativity and their aspirations to build careers in the digital marketing field. We’re happy to announce this year’s winner of the $1,000 scholarship, honoring Kelly Somey, a former high school art teacher who greatly inspired the creative dreams of Union’s founder, Banks Wilson.
Congratulations to <a href="https://www.instagram.com/adamismaking/?hl=en">Adam Salem</a>! As a recent graduate of Met Highschool in Rhode Island, Adam will attend Pratt Institute this fall to pursue a degree in communication design / graphic design. Currently, Adam uses various forms of media to express his creative skills and serve his community – like creating videos to promote blood donation, and designing a billboard to spark conversation around modern education. He shared that “teaching others about important topics gives [his] work meaning, and is a large part of [his] motivation.”
The opportunity to attend a school where he can sharpen his creative skillset is very important to Adam. He strives to eventually become an art director or creative director at an agency, so “winning a scholarship like this is a huge step in the right direction.”

Adam added: “I’d like to thank all the teachers and mentors that I’ve met, my advisor Sarah Laperle for constantly guiding me in the right direction, Melinda Rainsberger for really opening my eyes about design, and lastly, my mom for constantly supporting everything I do (and for showing me the scholarship haha)."
Congratulations again, Adam. We look forward to seeing where your career takes you!
