From the Judges' Report
This 12-page broadsheet newspaper is the university's "go-to" guide for new students, distributed to newcomers and their parents at fall orientation. Notable features include a "UCT lexicon" to define such insider terms as "hot seat" (weekly tutor appointment) and "meridian" (lunch break). The four-page pullout campus map was no doubt folded and referenced by many in those overwhelming first few days and weeks, while other features provided readers with the necessary overviews of student services, academic requirements, study tips, campus discounts and more.
