CSE took home three writing awards at the 2008 University of Minnesota Communicators Forum annual conference on May 15 at the St. Paul River Centre. The Communicators Forum is a professional group of communications staff at the University. Each year, the group presents Maroon and Gold Awards to recognize publications and materials that best embody the University's core values. Winners are selected by a panel of expert judges.

CSE received a Gold Award for excellence in writing for the story ‘From Tanzania to U’, from the Spring 2007 issue of its Soundbyte newsletter. CSE also won two Maroon Awards – one for promotional writing for the commemorative booklet, ‘Department of Computer Science and Engineering: 40 years of Excellence,’ and another for a press release entitled, ‘UM Researchers Reveal New Findings About Wikipedia Authorship and Vandalism.’ For more information about the 2008 Communicators Forum awards, visit Maroon and Gold Awards.
