Thirty-three awards

Cerritos College students won 33 awards at the JACC SoCal conference this weekend. That's the most Cerritos students have ever won at a single jACC conference. I'm really proud of them and happy for them.

Of course, the true value of winning awards is giving students affirmation that they are growing as writers, designers and photographers.

And what is more remarkable is how they won them. JACC has two types of contests at each of its conferences: mail-in awards that evaluate the work students do year-round in their publications, and on-the-spot awards that test their skills under deadline pressure.

Cerritos students won across the board.
  • They won both mail-in and on-the-spot awards.
  • They won writing, design and photography awards.
  • They won with newspaper, magazine and online entries.
