John Cooper Elias, Agromeck yearbook editor: Michele had a tough task this year as the yearbook photo editor, but she did a great job. She managed the photo staff all year, and she helped us produce a high-quality product that we are all proud of. The most impressive thing about Michele was that while she had to deal with managing the photo staff she continued to grow as a photographer and shoot some of the best pictures I have ever seen from her during this year.

N.C. State’s student yearboook, the Agromeck, edited by Mary Beth Hamrick, and its literary and arts magazine, Windhover, were recognized with a Gold Crown Award from the Columbia Scholastic Press Association this spring.

The Crown Awards are considered at Columbia by panels of invited judges, working in small groups to review each publication. During Crown consideration, publications are judged on their excellence as shown by their design, photography, concept, coverage and writing. Crown Awards summarize overall excellence in the entire publication and function as a “top-down” view of general excellence.

“While sales of the yearbook continue to decline, we have begun to consistently produce one of the best books in the nation,” said Wilson, also adviser to the yearbook. “I hope the students, faculty and staff will realize the value of this historical record and keep it alive. The yearbook is one of the first resources historians turn to when trying to get a reflection of the year.”

Other Crown award recipients are posted on the CSPA Site.

Saja Hindi, Technician editor: “David Mabe has easily become one of the most essential staff members we have. He is not only a great photographer but is also very dependable. David has also really helped out the section editors with online multimedia and has become a valuable resource to everyone on staff.”

For the second time, the Agromeck yearbook received a Pacemaker award from the Associated Collegiate Press, one of only seven books in the nation to receive that organization’s highest honors. The 2008 edition of the book was named Best of Show at the national convention in Kansas City. In addition, the 88.1 Second of Technician podcast produced in cooperation with WKNC radio was given third place for Best of Show for Audio Podcast.

At the national convention of the Associated Collegiate Press, College Media Advisers and College Broadcasters, Inc. in Kansas City. Oct 29 – Nov. 2, the NCSU Student Media received national recognition and students attending the conference did everything from participate in critiques to teach sessions.

“It is so much fun to go to national conventions with students from top programs all around the nation,” media adviser Bradley Wilson said. “Our students stayed up well past midnight critiquing pages and having pages from our publications critiqued. It was a great learning experience.”

This year, the NCSU yearbook editor, John Cooper Elias, helped to teach two sessions directly. And media advisers Bradley Wilson and Jamie Lynn Gilbert taught numerous sessions.

“These conventions can be grueling,” Wilson said. “They are a lot of work. But visiting with the students and seeing how they apply what they learned is exciting.”
