College Wins Five ACSPRA Awards
Northeast Alabama Community College
received five awards at the Alabama Community College System
Public Relations Association (ACSPRA) 2008 Summer Conference
held recently at Orange Beach. During the conference, the
Pyramid Awards ceremony recognized two-year college marketing
items created and used during the 2007 year. Winners received
either a Pyramid Award or a Certificate of Achievement or Merit.
The NACC Theatre won a top Pyramid Award in the category of
Single Sheet Flyer/Direct Mail Piece for “Join the Magic!”
designed by Regan McClung. Judges comments were: “Colors and
photos work with magic idea.” The NACC Theatre also won an Award
of Achievement in the Special Events Publications Category for “The
Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged)” program
and materials.
The 2007-2008 NACC Catalog/Student Handbook, designed and
prepared by Debra Barrentine, won an Award of Merit in the
Catalog-Full Color Category.
The Backroads Yearbook Staff won an Award of Merit in the
Student Publications Category for the Backroads Yearbook 2007
“Progression,” sponsored by Carolyn Jones. The yearbook is
prepared annually by students participating in the Mass
Communications classes at NACC.
Sigma Kappa Delta won an Award of Achievement in the Student
Publications Category for the Aurora Magazine 2007,
sponsored by Joan Reeves. This publication includes original art
and written works by NACC students as well as area high school
and middle school writing competition winners. “The publication
of Aurora continues to provide NACC students with a venue
for their creative talents, and the recognition the magazine
receives is a testament to the college’s exceptional student
body and faculty,” said Reeves. Aurora is published
annually by the Epsilon Alpha Chapter of Sigma Kappa Delta and
the English and Fine Arts Department at NACC.
“Northeast personnel really won some top awards and we are very
pleased for these accomplishments,” stated Dr. David Campbell,
NACC President. “Keeping the public informed about what is
happening at Northeast is very important to us. There are many
activities going on here at the college, and we want the public
and our students to have the opportunity to take full advantage
of them.”
Debra Barrentine, Director of Promotions and Marketing at NACC,
attended the three-day ACCSPRA conference. The conference
included presentations by Red Square Agency on re-branding the
Alabama Community College System.
The mission of ACCSPRA is to enhance the image, strengthen and
promote awareness and public perception of the Alabama Community
College System.
