Congratulations to the The Lamp for winning 13 Awards for Excellence in the Illinois Community College Newspapers competition. The awards were presented April 6 during the Illinois Community College Journalism Association conference held at LLCC.

The Lamp staff won first place for its website, first and third place awards for front page design, and third place for general excellence. “Winning first place for website was very satisfying. They upgraded the website and worked hard to make sure new content was available daily,” says Tim McKenzie, professor of journalism and humanities and The Lamp advisor. “These awards are just a sampling of the great work that a very active group of student journalists created. I am very proud of all their work.”
