This past week, the Michigan Interscholastic Press Association released results for the 2022 spring awards season. The Emery won over 60 awards in various categories for pieces from the online and in-print publications. The top recipients were Ridhima Kodali (14 awards), Vish Gondesi (12 awards) and Allison Mi  (10 awards).  Along with individual awards, the in-print publication was awarded a Spartan Award, which is the highest award a publication can receive. The online website was awarded a Gold ranking, which puts it at the top of the state for websites. Two members of The Emery staff were also recognized on MIPA’s Journalism staff: Lydia Hargett for News Writing and Vishwas Gondesi for Digital Media.
