The John H. MacDonald awards (JHMs) for excellence in student journalism were presented this past Sunday, February 27, at the 82nd the National Student Journalism Conference (NASH).
Every year, the JHMs recognize the best of student journalism across the country in 24 categories. The Ubyssey was lucky enough to be nominated 7 times and to take home 4 awards. We are very proud of this achievement and honoured by this recognition. Congratulations to all winners. Here is what we won.
