Ithacan story by Nicole Pimental ’20 wins SPJ Northeast Region Mark of Excellence AwardContributed by Michael Serino on 04/24/18
The story described the additional work many faculty of color take on by mentoring and serving as resources for a large number of students. It will now go on to compete against the winning stories from the other 11 SPJ regions for the National Mark of Excellence Award, which will be presented at the SPJ national conference in September. In addition, junior Grace Elletson’s story “Bros, Sports and Sexism,” on the Ithaca College chapter of Barstool Sports, received a Finalist Award in the same category. The story appeared in the October 26, 2017, issue of the paper. Elletson was recently selected as editor in chief of The Ithacan for 2018–19. The Ithacan also received a Finalist Award in the Best All-Around Non-Daily Student Newspaper category.
