 Higher Education Marketing Report sponsors the Education Advertising Awards. This year, more than 2,000 entries were received from more than 1,000 colleges, universities and secondary schools from all 50 states and several foreign countries. These latest accolades bring the number of awards won by SRU University Communication and Public Affairs staff this year to 12, including those previously announced by CUPRAP.

"These awards are especially meaningful for two reasons," said Rita Abent, executive director for the Office of Communication and Public Affairs. "First, they are judged by a panel of experts from across the U.S. and second, our in-house staff competes against professional agencies. I am extremely proud of the work our student and professional staff do in support of advancing the institution's reputation in the marketplace."
