Dollars & $ense receives Silver Crown

Dollars & Sense, the magazine of business and society produced by Baruch College students, has been named one of the dozen best college magazines in the country, collecting a Silver Crown award from the Columbia Scholastic Press Association for its 2007 edition.

The magazine also won a "first place award with special merit" from the American Scholastic Press Association.

Created by students from the journalism and graphic communication programs, D&S will celebrate its 30th anniversary this spring. Last year’s issue was overseen by editors-in-chief Alana Allette and Nicole Carter and creative director Glenn Yonemitsu.

In the American Scholastic Press Association contest, D&S was one of 13 college magazines nationally to win the top award – and the only winning publication from the CUNY or SUNY systems. Baruch was also the college to win from the New York-New Jersey-Connecticut area or New England.

All 29 years’ worth of D&S are available online. This D&S home page also offers a comprehensive table of contents – year by year, by author and by subject.

The magazine’s faculty advisers are Profs. Andrea Gabor and Josh Mills on the journalism side and Prof. Michael Nix for design. They’re always happy to hear from students interested in working on D&S. Prof. Roslyn Bernstein, who founded D&S, is its publisher.

The 2008 D&S will be introduced at a publication party on Monday, May 5, with Clark Hoyt, the public editor of The New York Times, as the featured speaker.
