“I’m especially proud of this year’s staff and the awards they received. We’ve been in a year of transition, moving to a more consistent online presence—and doing that with a smaller staff than usual. The awards are gratifying because they honor work across all areas, with first places in writing, photography and design,” said Betty Solomon, faculty adviser for The Collegian.
