UACCM staff wins district awards
MORRILTON — Institutional Advancement staff of the University of Arkansas Community College at Morrilton recently received three Medallion Awards from the National Council for Marketing and Public Relations.
The council is an affiliate of the American Association of Community Colleges, and the Medallion Awards recognize outstanding achievement in communications for community college professionals. Gold, silver and bronze Medallions are awarded in 43 categories that are judged by an independent panel of advertising, marketing and public relations professionals in the corporate and educational sectors.
UACCM was awarded Medallions in the categories of Academic Catalog, Featured Writing and Website at the district level.
A gold Medallion for Featured Writing was awarded for an article written by Courtney Stell, coordinator for information and public relations.
The story was published in a number of area media outlets in the college’s six-county service area. The article, titled “SEMCO Employees Trained at UACCM,” spotlighted the college’s Community Education program and its capabilities to form industry partnerships and build specialized training programs tailored to meet the needs of an employer.
The 2012/2013 College Catalog, which was designed by graphic/Web designer Trevor Mize, received a silver Medallion. The Medallion for Academic Catalog is awarded based on layout, functionality and appearance of the publication.
A bronz e Meda l l ion achievement in website design was also awarded to UACCM. The website awards are selected based on content, structure and navigation, visual design, functionality, interactivity and overall experience.
Mize is also responsible for the design and maintenance of the college’s website.
