Our very own columnist, Jackie Reiss, received national  attention from the college division of  United Press International, UPIU, for her article Getting Fresh: The Freshman Hookup Phenomenon.

The piece, originally featured in Issue 1 of The Quad and the first article in her weekly column “The Hookup”, earned Jackie a runner-up placing in UPIU’s National Student Journalism Writing Contest. Beating out 100 applicants, Jackie busted into the Top 10 and will now receive “significant publishing opportunities and recognition,” according to UPIU’s website.

Congrats again, Jackie!
