10th USTv Students’ Choice Awards Announced

The USTv Students’ Choice Awards has served as a medium to determine what TV shows Thomasians are watching and it should be a means of “evangelization, education and nation-building.”

This annual event influences people to form “advocacies toward responsible media” that set it apart from other student-driven award-giving bodies, according to Iraola. USTv, which began in 2004, gives importance to the content of the show and examines whether Thomasian values are embodied in a show.
