ULV communication students cleaned up at the California Intercollegiate Press Association contest for work produced during the 2002-2003 year. The University’s newspaper, magazine, and radio and television stations all won the sweepstakes in their respective categories, making them each the most decorated publications and stations in the state in their respective categories.
The CIPA awards are a statewide contest for four-year universities to have their work recognized and judged.

“Eye on La Verne helped ULV to be placed in more categories,” said Don Pollock, communications professor, and LVTV station manager. “It’s an historic event for ULV students to have their work recognized and honored.”
“We’re thrilled with winning the sweepstakes, essentially (making us) the most decorated college weekly newspaper in California,” said Elizabeth Zwerling, the adviser for Campus Times. “It’s a tribute to the hard work of students, editors and staff writers,”
