The Vermont Cynic won the Associated Collegiate Press' Newspaper Pacemaker award in October 2011,[1] widely considered the Pulitzer Prize of student journalism. In October 2012, The Vermont Cynic won the Associated Collegiate Press' Online Pacemaker award.[2]

The University of Vermont has a journalism program, offered as a "Reporting and Documentary Storytelling" minor. The relationship between The Vermont Cynic and this new minor program is still in flux. In particular, the status of The Vermont Cynic as an newspaper that is editorially independent of the UVM administration makes it complicated to tie into coursework (even in innocuous ways, such as the possibility of getting course credit for publishing work).[3]
