Red Deer College has won four medals from a marketing council that specializes in community colleges throughout North America. District 7 of the National Council for Marketing and Public Relations, during its annual convention, presented two golds, one silver and one bronze for printed and online publications marketing Red Deer College.
The college won the gold medal for course schedules with the 2010 issue of its continuing education course guide and a gold medal for brochures with its high schools counsellor update. Its Resumator notepads took silver in the Nifty Thrifty category and an online contest at Resumator.ca earned a bronze for Out-of-the-box marketing. Medals are awarded in 26 categories, including print, online and broadcast media, said Joyce Fox, acting director of marketing, communications and student recruitment at Red Deer College. College president Joel Ward, in a statement announcing the medals, said college staff continue to impress him with their work. “They reach one level after another and I’m truly proud to be the president of such an incredible institution,” said Ward. District 7 of the council represents members in Canada’s three westernmost provinces, all three northern territories, Alaska and the northwestern United States.
