SAN

newspaper, and The Mirage, the University's yearbook, have
won several awards from local, state, and national organizations. For
The Trinitonian, the honors include a First Place Distinction for the
newspaper as a whole from the American Scholastic Press Association's (ASPA)
2004-2005 Awards. This is the seventh year in a row the student newspaper
has received that award. In addition, Brian Massa, now a junior from Iowa
City, Iowa, won a Best News Photo award from ASPA.
The
Trinitonian also received an Honorable Mention award for overall
editorial and design content in their circulation category from the Texas
Intercollegiate Press Association (TIPA). The newspaper's staff received

"Winning awards is very affirming, but getting entries to the right
contests is an effort," said Katherine Martin, publications coordinator
for Trinity. "Editor Lia Lamm had such confidence in the Trinitonian
staff and its work last year she diligently set about getting the paper
the recognition that was its due."
The Mirage, Trinity's yearbook, received the Gallery of Excellence Award for 2004 from the Walsworth Publishing Company, a leading publisher of scholastic yearbooks from around the world. The award is given to yearbooks that "consistently demonstrate superior quality." The Mirage has received this award for several years in a row.
