The Lakeland marketing and communications department was recently recognized with two Medallion Awards from the National Council for Marketing and Public Relations (NCMPR), District 3.
Lakeland won a bronze award for "Innovation in Technology" for its online 2+2 tuition comparison calculator. The interactive tool shows in an impactful way the cost savings of starting a bachelor's degree at Lakeland and then transferring to a local four-year college or university. Prospective students may choose from nearly 30 transfer colleges or universities and view the savings results instantly. The judge's comments were, "very useful way of sharing how Lakeland saves students money on tuition."
Lakeland also won a bronze award in the College Promotional Video category for its recruitment video titled "Opportunity Starts at Lakeland." The video provides an overview of the academic programs and students services offered at Lakeland. The judge's comments were, "opportunity theme consistent throughout."
Lakeland was one of eight community colleges in Ohio to be recognized with Medallion Awards.
The NCMPR District 3 Medallion Awards recognize outstanding achievement in communications at community and technical colleges in District 3. It is the only regional competition of its kind that honors excellence exclusively among marketing and PR professionals at two-year colleges. District 3 includes Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, Wisconsin, and the Canadian province of Ontario.
