Yearbook named national champion
As eyes were glued to TV sets watching the N.C. State men’s basketball team defeat Georgetown to advance to the Sweet Sixteen in the NCAA Tournament, one of the school’s most award-winning teams was taking home another national championship. Columbia Scholastic Press Association announced March 18 it had selected the 2011 Agromeck as one of seven collegiate yearbooks to earn its prestigious Gold Crown award, an honor roughly equivalent to winning a national championship in athletics. This win marks Agromeck’s fourth Gold Crown in four years.

The 2011 Agromeck, edited by Susannah Brinkley under adviser Bradley Wilson, has already collected a slew of Gold Circle awards from the Columbia Scholastic Press Association along with accolades from the Associated Collegiate Press, College Media Association and North Carolina College Media Association. Update: Just two days after winning the Gold Crown, Associated Collegiate Press named Agromeck a finalist for its Pacemaker award. The Gold Crown and Pacemaker are the two highest honors given to college yearbooks.“Winning a Gold Crown is such an honor,” Brinkley said. “My staff and I produced another yearbook that we, ourselves and our University, can truly be proud of. It is humbling to receive this kind of national recognition. It shows that our good work has extended beyond the realms of the Wolfpack community.”
