In 2009, Ethos won a number of awards of the Columbia Scholastic Press Association's Student Press Review, including best cover design (black and white), best single photograph that complements and illustrates the content of the accompanying copy, and best magazine multi-page presentation.[2]
Ethos also won a 2009 Hearst Journalism Award in Featuring Writing.[3]
On January 26, 2009 Ethos Magazine, UO Cultural Forum and Ninkasi Brewing presented the Bandest of the Bands competition, a battle of the bands to find Eugene's best unrecognized musical talent. Sea Bell was crowned the 2009 Bandest Band based on crowd response and a panel of judges.[4][5]
January 2006, Ethos first issue was released under the name Korean Ducks by Co-Directors and University students Toung Cha and Hasang Cheon. The publication was started to help spread knowledge about Korean culture, on and off the Oregon campus.
In the fall of 2007, the magazine was re-branded as KD (short for Korean Ducks). The mission of the publication evolved to help spread a variety of cultures.
The spring of 2009, the student-run magazine turned to its most recent name, Ethos Magazine. The publication defines ethos as "the fundamental characteristic of a spirit, people, or culture."
