The Marketing Department at Alamance Community College (ACC) recently earned national recognition, taking home the Bronze Paragon Award in the Interior Signage Displays category from the National Council for Marketing & Public Relations (NCMPR). The award was presented during NCMPR’s 50-Year Anniversary Conference in New Orleans.

 

The winning project was a collaborative effort between Sarah Barham, Web Designer, and Lindsey McDonald, Graphic Designer, who designed and installed a series of original wall graphics at ACC’s Dillingham Center campus.

In addition to receiving the award, Barham and McDonald used the conference as an opportunity to strengthen professional connections. Networking with peers from across the country and engaging with national web design partners like Modern Campus and Clarus, whose collaboration supports ACC’s ongoing digital marketing and website initiatives.

 

“This recognition is just the beginning of where we’re headed as a marketing team,” said Sarah Barham. “We’re focused on pushing creative boundaries and finding new ways to elevate the ACC brand."
