PIERCE COLLEGE : Student Magazine Wins National Excellence Award
The Pierce College student magazine, The Bull, has won a national award for excellence given annually by the Associated College Press.
The Pacemaker award was given for a spring, 1989, edition of The Bull, which is published twice each semester. The Associated College Press is the oldest and most prestigious college journalism rating organization in the nation.
The Bull was in competition with publications from two-year as well as four-year colleges nationwide.
“This reflects . . . well on the program when you consider the fact that we were in competition with four-year colleges,” said Mike Conner, the publication’s faculty adviser. “It’s like our Oscar.”
The other winners in the competition were Pepperdine University in Malibu and the University of Texas at Austin.
Another campus publication, the student weekly newspaper known as The Roundup, won a Pacemaker for the western region for work done during spring, 1989.
