About the Columbia Scholastic Press Association, according to its website:
The Association is owned by Columbia University and operated as a program affiliated with its Graduate School of Journalism.
The Columbia Scholastic Press Association serves student journalists as follows:
- to make clear expression the standard for success;
- to maintain the student media for students, by students and containing news of students;
- to conduct contests and offer awards to make student media better than they were; and
- to recognize that journalism can be a means towards broader understanding of society and people.
Congratulations to Elizabeth, Gaona and Hannah!
