Why are Student Media Important?

Student-run publications are vital to the University community and culture by providing information and opinions about campus, local and world events. These publications and media outlets also allow students to build their journalism, design, communication and radio skills before they enter the workforce, often winning awards while they do so. In 2024 alone, our students have won over 30 awards for their work in student publications and media.
