University Relations rakes in
awards for UM publications

University Relations staff members recently won seven awards in the Council for Advancement and Support of Education’s District VIII annual communications awards competition. It was the most awards the department has ever earned in a single year from CASE, an organization of education advancement professionals.

Silver awards went to:

  • Paddy MacDonald for an essay on Greenough Park that appeared in the Montanan alumni magazine.
  • Joan Melcher for copy in a voluntary subscription ad in the Montanan.
  • Cary Shimek for a story on bee research in the Research View newsletter.
  • Patia Stephens for a story on higher education funding in the Montanan.
  • Director Rita Munzenrider, photographer Todd Goodrich and staff members Stephens, Shimek, Holly Fox, Colter Delin and Brianne Burrowes for the 2004 President’s Annual Report. The report was designed by graduate student Karen Slobod.

Shimek won a bronze award for Research View, as well as a bronze he shared with Goodrich and Slobod for design of the 2004 cover of Vision, UM’s annual research magazine.

CASE District VIII includes schools in Montana, Idaho, Washington, Oregon and Alaska, as well as the Canadian provinces of British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba.

In addition, University Relations staff members won an unprecedented three gold awards from the national Admissions Marketing Report annual competition earlier this year.

The Montanan, the 2004 President’s Annual Report and Research View were judged best in their categories. UM also collected merit awards for the Griz Greetings postcard gallery on UM’s Web site, a Montanan promotional ad and the University’s total recruitment package.
