Student newspaper wins awards




The Johnsonian, student newspaper at Winthrop University, did well in the recent S.C. Press Association Collegiate Division Awards competition. Our student paper won six awards--all of them presented at an all day conference yesterday at Clemson University.

In winning the awards, The Johnsonian went head to head with student newspapers such as The Daily Gamecock at the University of South Carolina and The Tiger at Clemson University. Editor-in-chief Christy Mullins and her staff competed with student newspapers published at colleges or universities in S.C. with more than 5,000 students enrollment. Congratulations to Mullins and her crew for winning the following:

Thank you, Dr. Timbs. We couldn't have done it without your moral support as well. Glad you could be there.
