Ithaca College

 The Ithacan was honored with both the 2015 Newspaper Pacemaker Award and the 2015 Online Pacemaker Award for overall excellence by the Associated Collegiate Press at the Fall National College Media Convention in Austin, Texas, on October 31. 

The Pacemaker, one of the nation's most prestigious college journalism awards, is widely regarded as "the Pulitzer Prize of collegiate journalism." Founded in 1921, the ACP is the oldest and largest membership organization for college student journalists in the country.

 The Newspaper Pacemaker was awarded for issues produced during the 2014–15 academic year (Jack Curran ’15, editor-in-chief). The Online Pacemaker judges evaluated websites during the Spring 2015 semester.

In addition, The Ithacan won Third Place in the convention's on-site Best of Show competition, for which each paper represented at the conference submits a single issue to be judged. The award was for The Ithacan's October 22, 2015, issue.
