The Daily Eastern News staff won 34 awards at the Illinois Collegiate Press Association this past weekend in Chicago. The staff beat its previous record of 28 awards set at last year’s ICPA in both first and second placings. The contest is divided up by school size and were judged by a panel of around.
After a fantastic summer, I am ready to start working again. We have some new members on the staff which I am very excited to begin working with. Being able to work among people and seeing them progress in their work was very fulfilling last semester. There are also some returning members who I’m ready.
