Congratulations to The Hilltop’s Editor-in-Chief Jacky “JD” Dennis Jean-Jacques II for receiving the 2025 nabjofficial Student Journalist of the Year Award 🎉📰 The recent summa cum laude graduate joined thehilltophu during his freshman year. He steadily rose in the ranks from DMV section editor to campus editor and then editor-in-chief. And what makes this award even more remarkable is that he was not a journalism major. His dedication was purely driven by passion. “It’s the structure, the editing, the storytelling. It’s like a puzzle I want to solve,” he said.
