The Franklin College Magazine has been named the winner of a Best of District V Award from the Council for Advancement and Support of Education (CASE). The magazine earned this regional recognition in the alumni/general interest category for four-year colleges and universities printed three or more times annually.
The judges praised the Franklin College Magazine for content and design, noting: “Good use of resources, infographics, class notes and why donors give. Engaging.”
The magazine is produced by the Franklin College Office of Communications in partnership with the College’s Division of Institutional Advancement. Amy VerSteeg, editor and senior communications specialist, oversees the magazine’s production. She works in collaboration with freelance designers and photographers as well as student writers serving as Pulliam Fellows. The magazine is distributed free of charge to more than 13,000 readers, including alumni, donors, parents of current students, community partners and grantmaking organizations. Additionally, digital editions and archives are available at no cost on the College’s website, FranklinCollege.edu.
“This recognition highlights the exceptional talent, creativity and dedication that Amy brings to the production of the Franklin College Magazine,” said Franklin College President Kerry N. Prather. “Each issue beautifully captures the spirit of our institution, showcasing the inspiring stories and vibrant community that define who we are. We are proud to share this award-winning publication with our readers, whose unwavering support propels our mission forward.”
