Bob Jones University’s student newspaper, The Collegian, has earned multiple 2020 South Carolina Press Association awards.
The publication’s individual staff members as well as its entire team were honored.
“This student staff put hundreds of hours into the production of a weekly paper that serves the entire university family,” said Betty Solomon, faculty adviser for The Collegian. “I know they are grateful for what the Lord has helped them accomplish this year.”

In addition, the newspaper’s staff won second place in the General Excellence category.
