alumni news

Maggie Su (2014), former Muse writer has kept writing in college. She applied to and was accepted to write for her award-winning college weekly, Occidental Weekly this year. Her editors awarded her "Writer of the Week" for one of her articles during first semester and entered her work (and some of her fellow colleagues) in the Society of Professional Journalists 2014 Mark of Excellence Awards. The awards honor the best of collegiate journalism from a calendar year and entries are judged by professionals with at least three years of journalism experience. Her school, Occidental College, competed against others in Region 11, comprising Arizona, California, Hawaii and Nevada. Some categories were divided between large schools (greater than 10,000 students) and small schools (9,999 and fewer students).

Maggie's school paper won Best All Around Non-Daily Student Newspaper, she placed in the top three for Sports Writing (Small) 1-9,999 Students, and several colleagues won or were finalists in other categories. Congratulations Maggie!
