Berry College publications claim regional awards
Submitted by Berry College
ROME — The Council for Advancement and Support of Education (CASE) once again has lauded Berry College’s alumni magazine as one of the premier publications of its type in the Southeast. This is the fourth time in five years that Berry magazine has ranked among the best in CASE District III, a nine-state region that includes Georgia, Tennessee, Kentucky, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Alabama, Mississippi and Florida.
The Award of Excellence claimed by Berry magazine came in the Alumni Magazines I category for colleges and universities with enrollments under 5,000. Finalists in that category included Furman University, Brenau University, Duke Divinity School and the University of Miami, with the Grand Award going to Furman.
All told, publications produced by Berry’s Office of Public Relations and Marketing in collaboration with other departments across campus claimed a total of six awards at Tuesday’s banquet in Atlanta. These included Awards of Excellence for the invitation (Direct Mail) and program (Institutional Publications) produced in support of the April 2007 inauguration of President Stephen R. Briggs. Other finalists in those categories included Lynn University, the University of Tennessee and the University of Memphis.
Berry also claimed a trio of Special Merit Awards. Honored were the inauguration invitation (Design for Print); “Extreme Success,” a magazine feature written by Karilon L. Rogers (Excellence in Feature Writing); and the Alumni Accent e-newsletter (Electronic Newsletters and Tabloids). Other winners in those categories included a host of much larger institutions, among them the University of Alabama at Birmingham, The University of Georgia, Vanderbilt University, the University of Virginia, Duke University, Virginia Tech and Auburn University.
