"Being recognized as the top college media organization in the country for two years in a row was an amazing feat. To earn the honor again is simply incredible,” Journalism Professor and Department Chair Brady Teufel said. “Kudos to all the students, staff and faculty whose hard work, vision and standards of excellence lie at the heart of this award and the 44 others that the organization received.
