Journalism Awards

Alexis Kowaleski

Central Michigan University’s journalism department honored this year’s winners of scholarships and it’s alumnus of the year at the journalism awards lunch in on Wednesday.

The event began in honoring the overwhelming amount of awards in both writing and photography from the university newspaper, CMLife. Among the many winners were photographers Alex Stawinski and Dan Stewart.

As the audience fumbled with their dessert the scholorship awards were then given out by Professors Tim Boudreau and Kent Miller.

“Alex won everything,” senior Brian Brunner of Hubertus Wis. said.

Brunner and much decorated Stawinski were among the award winners. Ben LaMothe was also awarded for his outstanding achievement this year in starting Central’s first online magazine.

The lunch in ended with Terry Foster receiving the award for alumnus of the year. Foster’s speech was strong with passion and loud with inspiration as he urged journalism students to work hard and make the transition to the internet.
