Hi. My name is Cameron Hurst.
Welcome to a slice of my life. I currently serve as public relations specialist for Erie 2-Chautauqua-Cattaraugus BOCES and the Springville-Griffith Institute Central School District, south of Buffalo, New York. Prior to that, I served as the public relations specialist at SUNY Jamestown Community College and as a staff reporter for The Post-Journal newspaper in Jamestown, New York where I covered local schools and governments. A December 2019 graduate of St. Bonaventure University, I have earned multiple awards and honors for my work in journalism and public relations since I began working professionally at the age of 15. I hope you’ll take the opportunity to learn more about me!
Peace and good,
Cameron Hurst

2020 Mark Hellinger Award
On Monday, Oct. 12 I was due to accept the Mark Hellinger Award, awarded to the St. Bonaventure University Jandoli School of Communication’s “most promising graduate,” at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C.
Due to the outbreak of COVID-19, its location had been moved to my hometown of Jamestown, New York and to The Robert H. Jackson Center, where I spent two summers as an intern. However, an uptick in cases in Cattaraugus County led to its cancelation late last week.
Remarks I had prepared for the rescheduled ceremony were published on my blog. Click here to read them.
