The student newsletter earned a silver award while the #makeittomay video received a bronze award.
Entries were received from colleges, universities and secondary schools across the country.
Judges for the Education Digital Marketing Awards consisted of a national panel of higher education marketers, advertising creative directors, marketing and advertising professionals and our editorial board.
“Consistent, clear and creative communications are central to connecting our community,” Thiel College Executive Director of Communications Richard Orr said. “Our teamwide collaboration found ways to rally our community and keep them informed in one of the most unpredictable and unprecedented chapters in our nation’s history.”
