Sac State wins prestigious CASE Awards

Sacramento State has won two awards for outstanding achievements and innovations in communications from a leading advancement and education organization.

District VII of the Council for the Advancement and Support of Education (CASE) has recognized the University’s VSA College Portrait and the Sac State Bulletin.  The University will learn if the awards are gold, silver or Bronze at a Dec. 8 ceremony in San Francisco. Academic institutions from California, Arizona, Hawaii, Nevada, Utah and Guam were eligible to submit entries.

For the College Portrait project, Sacramento State’s offices of Student Affairs and Public Affairs teamed up to create a dynamic web site that is viewed as a model within the California State University. The collaboration centered on finding out what potential students and their families wanted, then delivering the information in an attractive, exciting and user-friendly manner. 

College Portrait was awarded in CASE’s Web Sites (Institutional Home Page or Special Pages) or CD ROMs category.  Criteria included appropriateness to audience, creativity and results based on goals and objectives. To view the College Portrait, visit: www.csus.edu/checkusout.

The Sac State Bulletin won in the E-mail Newsletters category. Criteria included creativity, writing, design and results based on goals and objectives. The Bulletin features University news, highlights and information and is distributed weekly while school is in session.
