Central Michigan Life won an Online Pacemaker and was named Four-Year Weekly Newspaper of the Year from the Associated Collegiate Press and College Media Association, respectively.

CM Life was also named a finalist for the Newspaper Pacemaker. Reporter Melissa Frick’s article, “Exploring the dark side of Greek Life,” was named as an Honorable Mention for best In-Depth News Story in the country by the Associated Collegiate Press.

Emma Dale served as editor-in-chief during the publication of the award-winning entries.  

"The staff is what made these awards possible," Dale said. "Their hard work and commitment to (Exploring the dark side of Greek Life) is what made the story as powerful as it was. I am so proud to have worked with such talented journalists. They make CMU's campus a better place."

All awards were announced from Nov. 1-2 at the Fall National College Media Convention in Washington D.C.

The Pacemaker is known as college journalism’s most prestigious award. It is judged in four categories, online, newspaper (print), yearbook and magazine, for coverage, content, quality of writing, reporting, leadership, design and visuals.
