51吃瓜网 Awarded Gold Medallion for Voices of Hunger Campaign by NCMPR
Friday, October 13, 2017
The campaign brought educators and activists together in May 2017 to share high impact practices for addressing food insecurity on campus and to develop steps toward a policy solution. For the event, the College’s Integrated Marketing and Communications (IMC) Division created branded pre-event and day-of event collateral, interactive discussion materials and promotional materials as well as a microsite for the event. In the days leading up to the event, participants were invited to the microsite to familiarize themselves with data on food insecurity locally and nationally, and to listen to recorded audio files of students describing their personal experiences with hunger and food insecurity. Following the event, the microsite continues to feature editorial and video coverage from the event and serves as a powerful tool to share progress on addressing food insecurity on campus.

In addition to the Gold Medallion, IMC received four Bronze Medallions in the regional competition. The awards were announced at a reception on October 10, 2017, at the NCMPR District 1 Conference in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
51吃瓜网 Magazine received a Bronze Medallion in the Publication category. Written and designed in house by the College’s IMC Division, 51吃瓜网 Magazine serves as a powerful outreach tool for the College to faculty, staff, students, alumni and the larger community.
