The magazine won the following awards:

  • A silver award in the 'Feature Article Writing: University' category for a story about the ongoing investigation into Betsy Aardsma's murder appearing in the Sep/Oct 2009 issue
  • A bronze award in the 'Feature Article Writing: Professional Profile' category for a story in the July/Aug 2009 issue about an alum who is building a time machine so he can see his father again. Seriously.
  • A silver award in 'Writing: University Magazine' for the Nov/Dec 2009 issue.
  • A bronze aware in 'Writing: Magazines - Overall' for the Jan/Feb 2010 issue.
  • Additional honors were received in the 'Magazines: Member Publications' category for the Nov/Dec 2009 issue.
