STCC Marketing and Communications wins awards for promoting college

SPRINGFIELD, Mass. – Springfield Technical Community College took home three prestigious awards at the National Council for Marketing & Public Relations (NCMPR) District 1 conference in Baltimore.

STCC won “medallion” awards in three categories: Microsite/Landing Page (bronze); Social Media Post or Story A (bronze); and TV/Video Paid Advertisement (single) (silver).

NCMPR, which supports marketing and public relations professionals at community and technical colleges, holds the District Medallion Awards annually in the fall. STCC, an Hispanic Serving Institution, is the only technical community college in Massachusetts.

These awards are highly regarded as a benchmark for excellence in communications and marketing in higher education. Competing against colleges across the Northeast (District 1), STCC’s marketing team was recognized for design and communication. Peers from other districts in the United States judged the entries.

“I am proud of the talented STCC Marketing and Communications team for being recognized for their terrific work,” said Dr. Karen L. Walker, Assistant Vice President of Advancement, who oversees the marketing and communications team. “This achievement underscores the department’s excellence in promoting STCC’s mission, student success stories and innovative programs, while also showcasing its impactful communication strategies.”

The STCC Marketing and Communications Department’s recent success at the NCMPR awards is a testament to their dedication to delivering high-quality, effective communication that resonates with students, families and the community, said Eli Freund, Director of Marketing and Communications at STCC.
