West Windsor,
N.J. - The Mercer County Community College Marketing and Communications
Department, under the direction of Lynn Holl, is the recipient
of a 2011 Paragon Gold Award from the National Council for
Marketing and Public Relations (NCMPR) for the 2011-2013 College
Catalog, which was published last summer.
The NCMPR
competition recognizes outstanding achievement in communications
at community and technical colleges and is the only national
competition of its kind that exclusively honors excellence
among marketing professionals at two-year colleges. Winners
of this year's competition were announced at the 2012 national
conference held in San Francisco in March.
Mercer's award-winning catalog uses two colors throughout
and an eye-catching four-color cover. The design element that
makes the publication so distinctive is the creation of 59
unique academic program icons similar in appearance to those
used for cell phone apps. Each program's icon is represented
on the front cover, as well as at the top of the program's
description page. In addition to Holl, design team members
included Francis Paixao, Edyta Kuciapa, Brad Kent and Lori
Diecidue.

According
to Holl, this is the first national gold award for the department
in many years. She notes that the department has won numerous
awards from the Region 1 competition of the National Association
of Marketing and Public Relations. "We only occasionally
submit work to this prestigious national competition. We knew
this catalog would be a contender. I am very proud of my team,"
Holl said.
As one of the largest affiliates of the American Association
of Community Colleges, NCMPR has more than 1,500 members from
nearly 600 colleges across the United States, Canada and other
countries. More about the organization is available here. |
