Bringing home 12 awards from the nationwide Engineering College Magazine Association (ECMA) conference in April was a continuation of the Technolog's strong record going back to its first issue in 1920. Although it has improved remarkably over the last few years, the Technolog has a long tradition of being one of the best engineering student magazines. This year's honors included the magazine of the year distinction plus first-place awards in the overall cover design, overall publication design, creative feature, and feature writing categories.
Seven Technolog editors and writers traveled to the 2002 ECMA conference at Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio. We received skill training in several workshops, but the best parts were probably gleaning good ideas from the staffs of other college engineering magazines and seeing Columbus with others from the Technolog team.
These awards were in a large part a testimony to the efforts and skill of our outgoing team of editors: Melissa Eblen, Mike Mosher, and Katie Idziorek. On behalf of the team, I thank them and the writers for work they did in transforming the Technolog.
As we strive to keep improving our magazine, the best benefit of the Technolog is the opportunity it provides students to develop communication, art, photography, design, and business skills. We are always looking for future copy editors, layout editors, and advertising or business managers, and are open to contributions from any student. I encourage you to take the opportunity to join the Technolog team and develop another skill.
--Daniel Thomas, Editor
