Members of UT Tyler’s student newspaper, The Patriot, won 16 awards, including four first place honors during the Texas Intercollegiate Press Association’s annual convention held April 3-5 in Corpus Christi. The newspaper placed second in overall sweepstakes scoring against 28 other Division II schools. Although The Patriot is classified by enrollment as a Division III school, the newspaper elected to compete in the higher category which includes universities and colleges with an enrollment of at least 7,500. Patriot staff or former staff members took top honors in four categories: Editor in Chief Robert Boggs, editorial writing; Associate Editor Shalina Ramirez, feature writing; editor Jeanie Carter, humor column writing; and former graphic artist Mandy Stephens, informational graphic design. Boggs, a junior journalism/computer science major, also won honorable mention in editorial writing during the on-site competition. Ramirez, a senior journalism major, also won honorable mention in the news feature writing category; tied for third for her summer internship work with the Tyler Morning Telegraph and teamed up with former staff photographer Conchetta San Filippo to win third place in the picture story category. Sports editor Joe Elerson claimed third place for sports page design and second place for sports column writing. Other awards include:
