Amarillo College’s student media brought home 27 awards from the Texas Intercollegiate Press Association (TIPA) convention March 23-25 in Fort Worth.

TIPA is the oldest state collegiate journalism association in the nation. The group’s members include more than 60 Texas colleges and universities, two-year and four-year; private and public. Since its formation in 1909, TIPA has grown into one of the largest and most respected collegiate groups in the country.

Amarillo College Student Media won 14 awards at the Texas Community College Journalism Association convention held Nov. 11 at the University of North Texas. The annual convention brought student journalists together for a day of workshops and an awards ceremony.

The contest recognized work published by AC students during the Fall 2021 and Spring 2022 semesters and included submissions by former editor-in-chief of AC’s student newspaper “The Ranger,” Raygan Lopez, as well as Daniel Antillon, Jo Early, Shawn McCrea and others.
