College Media Network proudly welcomed 17 college journalists to New York City on Nov. 18 for the 2009 mtvU Woodie Awards.
The students received exclusive red carpet access in addition to tickets for the show, held at the Roseland Ballroom only a few blocks from CMN/MTV's offices in Times Square. This access allowed them to bump elbows with the likes of Death Cab for Cutie, Matt & Kim, Asher Roth, Fall Out Boy's Pete Wentz and other artists frequenting mtvU's airwaves.
Prior to the awards, CMN staff treated the visiting journalists to a reception inside the CMN/MTV offices 35 floors above Times Square.
