Grand Central Magazine is making a bit of a name for itself these days, having just recently collected its fourth award in three years.
The magazine, which has been recognized by the Association of Collegiate Press and the Society of Professional Journalists in the past, added an EPPY award to its list of honors thanks to a selection from
Editor and Publisher magazine. The award was for having the Best College/University Journalism Website for 2011.
"To be recognized as the best among the other universities entered is a big honor," says Betsy Rau,
Grand Central Magazine faculty adviser. "Winning such an award is really motivating. It sets the bar even higher for everyone."
Grand Central competed against finalists from DePaul University, Temple University, Berry College and City University of New York Graduate School of Journalism.
Grand Central Magazine is run by a volunteer staff of 30 students, including a team of 10 editors. It was launched in 2007.
