Alexander Donaldson

Alexander Donaldson is a prominent student in the Indiana University of Pennsylvania’s (IUP’s) communications department, studying Media Production. His contributions in communications were felt early, as his play-by-play commentary won the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences (NATAS) Student Award for "Best Live Sports Broadcast" in 2020, with HHTV (Hatboro – Horsham Television Network). After earning his Eagle Scout Award, Alex would enroll in IUP, logging over 150 hours in just his first 2021/22 school-year by working with the college’s Center for Media Production and Research. In his time studying at IUP, Alex has had three dean’s list honors and won two additional NATAS awards. Whereas industry professionals win Emmy’s via the NATAS, college student productions receive the equivalent “Crystal Pillar” from the same institute.  Alexander Donaldson has been the play-by-play talent for back-to-back Crystal-Pillar-winning live football productions, both in the Fall of 2021, and sequentially in the Fall of 2022. In the same year Alex represented the school's Phi Delta Theta chapter at the 84th Biennial Convention, he was also selected as a delegate to represent IUP at the proceeding 2024 NABC Conference. Alex has since worked for the IUP Hockey Team, one of two members to travel to every scheduled game during the year to setup, provide, and handle the live broadcast of the games.
