Leonard Slutsky Awarded Scholarship from Advertising Club of New York

2013 Dec 17

Leonard Slutsky, a Glastonbury native and junior integrated marketing communications major in the Roy H. Park School of Communications at Ithaca College, was recently named the recipient of the Steve Pacheco advertising scholarship award of $5,000.

The scholarship is presented annually by the Advertising Club of New York and is named for each year's recipient of the club's advertising person of the year. Pacheco is managing director of advertising at FedEx.

Slutsky attended an award ceremony in November to celebrate the work of Pacheco and receive his scholarship.

"At the award ceremony, there were a lot of agency professionals. It was a great opportunity to network and learn things that they don't necessarily teach in the classroom," said Slutsky. "The Advertising Club of New York has given me opportunities to broaden my perspectives and to learn more about the industry."

Slutsky is currently participating in the Ithaca College Los Angeles program and interning with Trailer Park, an entertainment marketing agency.
