The 2008 edition of Signatures, RIT's annual student-created and student-produced arts and literary magazine, was recently awarded a Gold Crown award in the Columbia Scholastic Press Association's 2009 Collegiate Awards Convocation. Signatures was honored in the best college magazine category and was one of only 10 college magazines selected nationally.
RIT School of Print Media (SPM) students Andrew Henry and Sarai Oviedo helped to oversee the production of the magazine (comprised of four separate folios contained in a case). They, along with Signature's faculty advisor John Roche (RIT College of Liberal Arts), travelled to Columbia University to accept the award, and gave an invited workshop presentation. SPM professor Michael Riordan also presented at the conference. Read the press release from RIT University News here.
