Meet Kellie Lambert
Program Chair of Communication & Media Studies, who Teaches Students how Storytelling Shapes Identity, Influences Media, and Drives Change
On a Saturday night, you might spot Kellie Lambert in the stands at a Post University hockey game, cheering as loudly as any student. By Monday morning, she is back in the classroom, weaving Taylor Swift or TikTok into a discussion where pop culture meets media literacy, and each lesson is a chance to connect. For 30 years, Lambert has been a trusted voice in Connecticut journalism, covering music for local magazines and writing her column for The Republican-American, a newspaper based in Waterbury. She is now using that voice to educate and inspire future communication professionals to create content that is inspiring and impactful. Read more about Professor Lambert in our Magazine.

Give Your Student a Nudge Toward Scholarships
Sometime students just need a gentle reminder of why scholarships are worth the effort. If you are looking for a way to encourage your student to apply, here are two powerful reasons scholarships can make a real difference.
Scholarships give students more time to focus on their studies.
Research shows that working more than 15 hours per week can become a barrier to academic success. For many students, balancing work and school adds stress and can make it harder to graduate on time—or to earn the grades they are capable of achieving. Scholarships can help reduce that burden, allowing students to focus on learning and long-term goals.
Scholarships can help fill the financial gap.
Many students fall between high- and low-income thresholds. They may not qualify for need-based aid and may not meet strict merit-based criteria—but they still need support. Scholarships can help bridge this gap and make continuing education more affordable.
To better support our students, we have a partnership with Scholarships360. Founded in 2010, Scholarships360 offers access to a database of more than 5,000 scholarships. Through this platform, students can discover external scholarship opportunities personalized to their academic goals and individual circumstances.
Encourage your student to set up a Scholarships360 account using their student email address and start exploring opportunities today. A little nudge now can make a big difference later.
With the start of the semester here, now’s the perfect time to help your student get back into the study groove. A strong routine early on can make all the difference in confidence, focus, and academic success. Share these six proven study tips to help your student stay organized, manage time effectively, and perform their best this semester.
