‘Rock Solid Success’ ad series wins national award for
creativity
SLIPPERY ROCK, Pa. – Slippery Rock University’s series of
Rock Solid Success newspaper ads highlighting the job placement
success of SRU graduates has received a 2006 Merit Award from
Admissions Marketing Report magazine. A magazine spokesman said the
ads were recognized for their creativity, quality and consumer
appeal.
The six-by-four inch ads feature photographs and profiles about
recent graduates and the success they’ve had as a result of their
SRU education. Sandra Busch, SRU publications manager for
University Public Relations, designed the ads. Gordon Ovenshine,
public relations writer, and Robert McComas, sports information
director, developed the copy.
SRU placed in the newspaper advertising series category for
schools with 5,000 to 9,999 students. A national panel consisting
of advertising directors, marketing professors and the editorial
board of the magazine served as judges for the competition.
Admission Marketing Report, headquartered in Atlanta, covers the
admissions marketing field and received 3,500 entries for its
22nd annual Admissions Advertising Awards
competition.
Slippery Rock University is Pennsylvania’s premier public
residential university. Slippery Rock University provides students
with a comprehensive learning experience that intentionally
combines academic instruction with enhanced educational and
learning opportunities that make a positive difference in their
lives.
