“The Medaille Perspective has been recognized by the Columbia Scholastic Press Association, Columbia University as a Gold Medalist. The Perspective was judged against criteria for student newspapers as established by a panel of judges at the association. Newspapers are critiqued and points awarded and then ranked against student newspapers in the USA and Canada.

In order to be ranked as a gold medalist, the paper must receive at least 925 points of 1000. The Perspective received 955 points. The judges said “It was a pleasure ‘reading’ you! You’ve obviously worked very hard on your publication, which is reflected in your Gold score!”

The staff of the Perspective would like to thank the entire campus community for their support and continued readership. They look forward to continuing to cover the campus throughout the upcoming semester.  ”
