GODFREY Lewis and Clark Community College’s student-run newspaper, The Bridge, earned a record-breaking 22 awards in the 2021 Illinois Community College Journalism Association (ICCJA) awards.
Last year the newspaper won 17 awards. Bridge Advisor Louise Jett said the challenges of the last year made her staff even closer.
“The Bridge staff didn’t scatter to the wind when the pandemic hit,” she said. “We united to keep our campus community informed and entertained. Our commitment to being flexible and working together as a team helped us earn these awards, many of which took the work of multiple team members.

Nazanin Zaker left Iran in 2016 to settle in Canada to pursue doctoral studies at the University of Ottawa, joining her brother who was already attending the institution. This fan of mathematics is now on the verge of achieving her goal, namely that of earning a PhD in biomathematics.
“Biomathematics allows us to apply mathematical knowledge to model biological systems. We simulate issues in biology to find solutions,” she explained. “My research has modelled the interaction between predators and their prey to see how the populations of such species are affected by the presence of the other. From this we can better understand certain environmental pressures, such as loss of habitat.”
