Awards are the lowest priority of a student journalist, but they are incredibly helpful for drawing more attention to a winner's publication. Thank you to the USJ staff, my advisor, and my mentors for years of support and challenge, you pushed me and this program to be better, which is infinitely more important than an award certificate. Nevertheless, I couldn't be more honored to receive the titles listed below because they put the spotlight on my publication, our amazing writers, and the talent that resides in all pockets of student journalism worldwide.
