WKU Student Publications is among the most honored student media groups in the country, collecting 51 Pacemakers since our first in 1978 for the Talisman, then a yearbook, and in 1981 for the Herald, then acampus newspaper.
All together, the Herald has 25 Pacemakers (and is the sixth most-honored publication in Pacemaker history), 23 for the Talisman and three combined for Cherry Creative and Advertising.
Please join me in congratulating the students who power our exceptional student media at WKU!
