STCC Marketing and Communications Department Wins Awards
SPRINGFIELD — Springfield Technical Community College (STCC) took home three prestigious awards at the National Council for Marketing & Public Relations (NCMPR) District 1 conference in Baltimore.
STCC won Medallion Awards in three categories: Microsite/Landing Page (bronze); Social Media Post or Story A (bronze); and TV/Video Paid Advertisement (single) (silver).
NCMPR, which supports marketing and public-relations professionals at community and technical colleges, holds the District Medallion Awards annually in the fall. These awards are regarded as a benchmark for excellence in communications and marketing in higher education. Competing against colleges across the Northeast (District 1), STCC’s marketing team was recognized for design and communication. Peers from other districts in the U.S. judged the entries.
“I am proud of the talented STCC Marketing and Communications team for being recognized for their terrific work,” said Karen Walker, assistant vice president of Advancement, who oversees the Marketing and Communications team. “This achievement underscores the department’s excellence in promoting STCC’s mission, student success stories, and innovative programs, while also showcasing its impactful communication strategies.”
The STCC Marketing and Communications Department’s recent success at the NCMPR awards is a testament to its dedication to delivering high-quality, effective communication that resonates with students, families, and the community, said Eli Freund, director of Marketing and Communications at STCC.
“We are thrilled to receive these awards, which reflect the hard work and creativity of our team,” he added. “Our mission is to inspire and inform through the stories of our students and the impactful programs STCC offers, and it’s an honor to be recognized by our peers in higher-education marketing.”
The NCMPR District 1 awards affirm STCC’s role as a leader in community-college marketing and communication, showcasing the institution’s commitment to supporting student success and connecting with the community.
The team includes Freund, Assistant Director of Communications Jim Danko, and Digital and Social Media Manager Nicola Ludwig. They picked up the awards at a conference held Oct. 23-25 in Baltimore.
