Associate Professor of Communication and International Studies Matt Sienkiewicz has been nominated for an Emmy Award for his part in producing a public service announcement entitled "Said No Drug Dealer Ever."

The spot, which takes a comedic, magical realist approach to highlight the consequences of opioid abuse, was nominated for Best Community/Public Service Single Spot in New England (public service video). Professor Sienkiewicz worked with director and co-producer Joseph Sousa on the project, which was supported by the Middlesex District Attorney's office. The winner will be announced on June 24th at Marriott Boston Copley Place.
