Announcing The 4th Annual Bailey Lauerman Scholarship Winner, UNL Junior Ariana Garber

Bailey Lauerman is proud to announce this year’s Bailey Lauerman Fund for Student Opportunity recipient, Ariana Garber, a University of Nebraska-Lincoln junior. Garber was chosen for her extensive involvement across campus, her advocacy for inclusive communities, and her passion for using storytelling as an advertising tool. Bailey Lauerman’s yearly scholarship is one of the ways we uphold our ongoing commitment to DEI within our agency and the advertising industry. The Bailey Lauerman Fund for Student Opportunity awards one University of Nebraska-Lincoln student a $5,000 scholarship and a concentration of their choice in our summer internship program.

Through her involvement in the University of Nebraska Inter-Tribal Exchange, the Asian Student Union, the Filipino Student Association, and Delta Xi Nu Multicultural Sorority, Garber has been able to foster a space centered around inclusivity and be a part of the change she had hoped to see at her school.

Garber is triple-majoring in advertising and public relations, journalism, and graphic design, with dual minors in digital humanities and business administration. She found advertising and public relations through her love of storytelling. Growing up, Garber used narrative as an outlet to create personal worlds and express emotion.

As a graphic design major, she enjoys the ability to bring artistry into advertising projects. Garber wants to follow the path of creating beautiful work while bringing awareness to stories that need to be shared.

 
This summer, Ariana will be a member of our annual summer internship program, and we are eager to see the impact she will have on the industry as she steps into her next chapter.

 
The Bailey Lauerman Fund for Student Opportunity is an extension of our relationship with the UNL College of Journalism and Mass Communications. The scholarship aims to encourage and provide support to students of diverse backgrounds who are pursuing careers in advertising and, ultimately, to create opportunities for fair representation within the industry.
