Five members of The Gustavian Weekly staff attended the Associated Collegiate Press Best of Midwest journalism conference in Minneapolis this past weekend.

Participants attended sessions addressing new media, coverage of sensitive topics, and more. At the conference, publications were also given the opportunity to submit their work in a convention contest.

We are excited to note that The Weekly received a fifth place award for its website. See the complete contest results.

Thank you to everyone who has submitted story ideas, commented on the site, written articles, or otherwise helped in the process. We appreciate your contributions.
