The Lafayette won six 2025 Student Keystone Media Awards from the Pennsylvania NewsMedia Association.

In the Division II category for four-year colleges and universities with enrollment under 10,000 students, the student newspaper garnered two first-place and three second-place awards and an honorable mention, tying for the most awards earned in the division.

The Lafayette is the only student newspaper at an institution without a journalism or communications program to win a first-place award in the division. The awards recognized ongoing and investigative news coverage and feature stories.
