Publications and Creative Services
brings home the gold
ASU's Office of Publications
and Creative Services recently won three
awards at the District IV CASE (Council for Advancement and
Support of Education) conference in Dallas. CASE is the
international association of professionals who advance educational
institutions. The PCS team is director Ron Looney, art
director Mark Reeves, and graphic designers Heath Kelly
and Mary Williams. The team took home the first place Gold
level Grand Award in the category "Institutional Identity Programs"
for the "Powering Minds" branding campaign. The monumental campaign
included publications, logo-branded items, and the massive library
banner depicting "The Scholar," the icon of the campaign. The team
also scored two third place Bronze level Achievement Awards for a
media/press kit and a two-color brochure. ASU's prize-winning
entries vied against those of CASE member universities in Arkansas,
Louisiana, Texas, Oklahoma, and New Mexico. Beth Smith,
executive director of the ASU Alumni Association, is the CASE District IV
chair. For details about the projects and awards, see the
