South Louisiana Community College has received a 2022 Paragon Award from the National Council for Marketing & Public Relations (NCMPR) at the council’s March national conference, in Orlando, Florida. The Silver Award for Print Media celebrates the SLCC marketing team’s creative approach to the Annual Report and recognizes the department’s work among the best in the nation.
“While brainstorming ways to communicate the content of our annual report, we envisioned a way to collaborate across the college and provide our stakeholders with a way to learn about SLCC throughout the year. The wall calendar solution allowed for both,” says Lana Fontenot, Vice Chancellor of Institutional Advancement. “We are proud to be recognized on a national level for our annual report and to be recognized for the creativity that went behind producing it to showcase our incredible institution.”
As a member of NCMPR, the college’s marketing department can access professional development and connect with a national network of marketing professionals who are eager to share ideas and best practices that can be applied at SLCC. The NCMPR’s Paragon Awards celebrate those professionals and recognizes outstanding achievements in design and communication at community and technical colleges. It's the only national competition of its kind that honors excellence exclusively among marketing and public relations professionals at two-year colleges.
“I love to celebrate the outstanding work of our community college marketers,” says Jeff Ebbing, NCMPR’s 2022-23 President. “The creativity and hard work that went into the winning entries is on par with some of the best agencies in the country and is a testament to the talent and dedication of our members. These people are pros in every sense of the word.”
The 2022 Paragon Awards drew 1,726 entries from 323 colleges across the country and was judged by more than 40 professionals from the marketing and public relations industry.
