News: PCC Collects 4 NCMPR Awards For Excellence

Pasadena City College won four awards for outstanding achievement in communications at the National Council for Marketing & Public Relations (NCMPR) District 6 conference held Sept. 23-25 in Carlsbad.

PCC's Public Relations and Publications offices won a gold medallion in the newsletter category for "Campus Report," a bi-annual publication containing news, features, and highlights of student/staff/faculty achievements. The publication is mailed to 160,000 homes in the Pasadena Area Community College District.

In the sports brochure category, PCC garnered two awards for its 2008 football media guide and its 2009 women's basketball media guide. Both guides had already received recognition from the state for the same category at the Community College Public Relations Organization (CCPRO) conference earlier this year.

PCC also won a medallion for banners and outdoor media for its "Student Success" banners, which are currently being displayed at the college's new Industrial Technologies Building.
