I'm proud to say that the @UTAShorthorn won 31 Division 1 awards at TIPA for our 2019 work. Among these awards are first place for Overall Excellence for our newspaper and website in Division 1. Our managing editor @reeseoxner also won editor of the year.

While I can't get to all the awards in this thread, I want to highlight a couple of them.

With that, I'm proud of everyone that puts the work in at the @UTAShorthorn to produce amazing work and of @reeseoxner who led us in 2019.
