BONITAFEST TEEN TITANS ROCK ATLANTA
Last week in Atlanta the Southwestern College Sun newspaper and Southwestern College El Sol Magazine were named College Newspaper of the Year and College Magazine of the Year, respectively, by the two oldest and most prestigious collegiate media organizations in North America. Both publications also won the Best of Show Awards in their categories. It is a rare sweep of all six of the top awards in college journalism. Bonitafest Filipino American Outreach Chair Emily Ingco is the Editor-in-Chief of The Sun. Twilight Trail Parade Co-Chair Nicolette Luna is the EIC of El Sol. They are the only Filipina and Latina to lead national champion publications.
Nikki was named National College Reporter of the Year, an astonishing achievement since she is still a BVHS senior. She is the youngest ever recipient in the 105-yeear history of the Associated Collegiate Press and the first ever dual-enrolled high school student. Mayor John McCann will honor Nikki at the November 14 Chula Vista City Council meeting at 5 p.m.
Emily was a national finalist for Sportswriter of the Year and Bonitafest Filipino Outreach committee leader Razylin Avendano was a finalist for Best Information Graphic. Congratulations/Felicidades/Binabati Kita!
