KSU honored at UPCEA
KENNESAW, Ga. (November 18, 2013) – KSU’s College of Continuing and Professional Education brought home a Bronze award at the 22nd annual University Professional & Continuing Education Association’s Marketing Seminar from Nov. 6-8 in Austin, Texas. UPCEA serves professional, continuing and online education for more than 356 institutions in North America (upcea.org).
The marketing awards recognize the best in mediums such as advertising, brochures, postcards, videos and more. The College of Continuing and Professional Education was acknowledged for its Casino Night Poker Chip (Print Publications Division: Miscellaneous Print Piece Category). The poker chips raised awareness about the College’s inaugural Casino Night Scholarship Fundraiser which was Sept. 28.
With “Save The Date” on one side and a QR code on the other, thousands in the community had a fun reminder of what was to come. The QR code led to the fundraising website, ksufundraiser.com, and the poker chip was a constant reminder of the Vegas-themed event which raised thousands of dollars for the Barbara S. Calhoun Scholarship Fund.
Dean Calhoun said, “We are honored to be recognized by UPCEA, one of the premier institutions for continuing education. Our event was a success, and this award is representative of the hard work of our team here in the College of Continuing and Professional Education.”
