Lakeland College’s alumni magazine has been recognized with an international award.
On June 22 the Council for Advancement and Support of Education (CASE) announced Lakeland College’s Excel magazine as a recipient of a 2022 Circle of Excellence Award. The college received the bronze medal in the magazine category for alumni/general interest in two-year institutions.
The Excel is published twice yearly, featuring alumni profiles, class notes, events, campus news and donor relations activities. Its name is a nod to the college’s motto Ever To Excel, which was adopted in 1928.
"The Excel is a perfect example of what can be accomplished through innovation and collaboration,” says Dr. Alice Wainwright-Stewart, Lakeland’s president and CEO. “Our Alumni Association and our alumni and donor relations and marketing and communications offices collaborate to create a magazine that celebrates our past while looking towards our future. Each edition connects alumni with each other and their college through compelling content and fresh design. I am so proud that the Excel has been recognized by CASE."
CASE’s Circle of Excellence Awards are the premier recognition program for educational advancement. These peer-selected and adjudicated awards honour colleges, universities, and schools worldwide whose talented staff have advanced their organizations with resourcefulness and ingenuity.
"Our CASE Circle of Excellence Awards celebrate the creative, resourceful, and innovative ways advancement professionals around the globe champion their institutions’ success,” says CASE President and CEO Sue Cunningham. “Advancement has never been more important to support and strengthen education. These 2022 Circle of Excellence recipients—from institutions and teams of all sizes and shapes, from regions across the world—showcase how advancement empowers teaching and learning, ignites institutional progress and helps communities thrive. I hope you take the opportunity to explore these award winners and become inspired."
In their judgement, the CASE team said, “Excel magazine presents Lakeland College as a fun, vibrant, and vital community. The publication often presents very institutional content in engaging, digestible ways for readers (such as in the “Alumni Benefits” spread). Good story selection, compelling photography and, as noted, a great sense of warmth and human connection.”
In 2022, CASE received more than 4,500 entries from 636 institutions in nearly 30 countries. Winners were selected based on several factors, including overall quality, innovation, use of resources and the impact on the institution or its external and internal communities, such as alumni, parents, students, faculty, and staff.
