If organizational peer recognition is the highest validation of exceptional work in higher education, then the University of Missouri–St. Louis has achieved another institutional milestone, this time for the professional quality of its marketing and communications unit’s work.
The Council for the Advancement and Support of Education (CASE) District VI has honored UMSL with its two first-ever gold platinum awards for outstanding achievement, part of a record-tying four golds among its 11 total awards. The competition featured entries from colleges and universities in Colorado, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota and Wyoming.
UMSL’s platinum awards were the top honors for “Outstanding Achievement in Communications and Marketing” for the UMSL News Portfolio (consisting of UMSL Daily, UMSL Magazine, UMSL Monthly and their linkages to traditional and digital media) and for “Excellence in Photography” recognizing the outstanding work of UMSL campus photographer August Jennewein. Platinum awards are automatically entered in the CASE international awards competition.
“For all of my nearly 13 years as chancellor of the University of Missouri–St. Louis, I have been impressed by the exceptional work produced by our small but prolific University Marketing and Communications team,” Tom George said. “I have noticed how they have adapted to a changing industry and new challenges while continuing to churn out great stories, photography, publications, graphics, websites and marketing efforts. I’m not surprised that their peers have also recognized this, bestowing upon the group a record number of awards this year.”
The awards and descriptive categories are:
