Adam’s article, an in-depth look at the appalling Residence Life program forced on the 7,000 students in the university’s residence hall system, was first published in ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵAPP¹ÙÍø’s academic journal, The Lantern. The Education Writers Association is the national professional association of education reporters and writers, and their annual awards honor the best education reporting in print, online, and broadcast media. Reporting from appeared in such major daily newspapers as The New York Times, USA Today, and The Miami Herald, along with higher education publications including The Chronicle of Higher Education and Inside Higher Ed. Adam and the other award winners will be honored this Saturday, May 2. Congratulations once again to Adam!
