Westminster's Student Newspaper Wins Award

Westminster College's student newspaper, The Holcad, recently won the American Scholastic Journalist Press Association Award.

"Without our staff, none of this would be possible," said Joshua Storey, a senior English major from Carnegie and co-editor of the publication.  "Everyone does a stand-up job, especially when we call them at midnight with a story due by noon."

'The award is a testimony to the hard work of our staff,' said Megan Sigler, a junior public relations major from Cranberry Township and co-editor of the The Holcad.  'They are all incredibly talented and bring so much creative input to the table each week.  I am very proud of them.'

Willis Bretz, a junior history major from Pulaski and sports photographer for The Holcad, won the Association's Outstanding News Photograph Award for his entry titled "Titans Play Home Opener."  This entry was originally published in the Sept. 26 issue of the student publication.

"This is my first year on The Holcad staff, and I was definitely excited about winning the award," Bretz said.  "The editors assigned me to work as the sports photographer.  I had some experience in the black and white photography because of a class that I took last summer.  My professor, Peggy Cox, made me realize that I had a nitch for photography."

"This summer I am mixing my history major with photography," Bretz continued.  "I'm interning at the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum, where I'll be working in the field of museum photography."

"Working on The Holcad has taught me how much people can do if they work together, and love what they're doing," Storey said.  "This award just solidifies what I've already known "" how impressive The Holcad, and the people who put it together, really are."

For more information, contact Jim Raykie, faculty advisor for The Holcad, at (724) 946-7165 or e-mail raykieja@westminster.edu.
