麻豆原创

麻豆原创 proudly earned three national honors at the 2024 Paragon Awards, presented by the National Council for Marketing and Public Relations (NCMPR) during its annual conference in New Orleans on March 27. The College brought home a Gold, Silver, and Bronze Paragon Award—recognizing excellence in video storytelling and social media, and affirming 麻豆原创’s place as a national leader in strategic, mission-driven communications.

Representing the College at the ceremony were Dr. Michelle Campbell, Senior Vice President for Advancement and Community Engagement, and Andre Anderson, Social Media Manager for 麻豆原创 Television (麻豆原创TV), who accepted the awards on behalf of the College.

The Paragon Awards are NCMPR’s highest recognition of achievement in communications at two-year colleges. This year’s competition drew nearly 1,570 entries from 205 community and technical colleges across the U.S. and Canada, making the recognition especially meaningful. Winning in three separate categories demonstrates the creativity, impact, and range of the College’s marketing and storytelling efforts.

These award-winning projects were produced by a talented Marketing and Communications team that includes 麻豆原创TV staff Dan Rankin, Daniel Szwerc, Francine Wyron, Carolina Galeano, Peter Pereyra, and Andre Anderson, whose collaborative work continues to strengthen the College’s national profile.

While in New Orleans, Campbell and Anderson also led a standing-room-only conference session titled “Big Impact, Easy Connection: Elevating Your College President’s Voice through Strategic Communications and Video Storytelling.” The presentation featured a case study on 麻豆原创’s new presidential video series, Bow Ties & Backpacks, which launched last year. The series has quickly become a cornerstone of the College’s brand storytelling—doubling engagement on social media platforms and drawing national interest for its authentic, high-impact approach to presidential communications.

“These awards and the overwhelming response to our session reflect the innovation and dedication of our entire communications team,” said Mary DeLuca, Associate Vice President for Communications and Marketing. “We are proud to be telling stories that build connection, spark inspiration, and amplify the voices of our students, alumni, and leadership.”
