Judges for the EDMA awards consist of a national panel of education marketers, advertising creative directors, marketing and advertising professionals.
The College Relations team consisting of Communications Coordinator Casey Curtis and Graphic and Web Design Coordinator Caley Pennington won two Gold Awards; one for the "Program Highlight Video Series Social Media Content Campaign" and one for the "Chancellor Search Microsite."

"We are appreciative of the eight awards we've won this year," Curtis said. "Our office has a great team that works well together.
