The Harvey Journalism Award is presented annually, on the vote of the Board of Publications, to the chair of the Board of Publications and the editors of the member publications.

The Jim Leas Outstanding Student-in-Journalism Awards was presented to Jacob S. Pactor.

The Leas Award was endowed by the Crawfordsville Journal Review, and is a cash award given to that student who, in the judgement of the Wabash College Board of Publications, best exemplifies those standards of journalist excellence, which Jim Leas demonstrated in his 20 years of sports writing.

The Patterson-Goldberger Outstanding Freshman in Journalism Award was presented to Curtis J. Eilers.

The Freshman Journalism Award is presented to the member of the freshman class who contributed most significantly to journalism in his first year at Wabash.
