New Haven, Conn., December 1, 2023 – Albertus Magnus College is excited to announce that it has earned a Bronze Mercury Award from the Public Relations Society of America Greater Connecticut Chapter (PRSA-CT), celebrating the best work in public relations throughout the state. The College received this honor for its video entitled Albertus Impact 2022 – demonstrating how Albertus Alumni give from the heart to a place that has given them so much, and in return, they give back to the communities where they live and work.
Special congratulations go out to Alex Mitchell ’21, who led the production team for our vendor Establishment Productions in interviewing, recording, and editing this vignette to help inspire and increase donor involvement.
“Our Marketing team strives for creative excellence, and we deeply value the collaborative work that consistently delivers that excellence,” said Albertus Vice President for Marketing and Community Relations Andrea Kovacs. “I’m so proud of our team for showcasing important stories in new and engaging ways. Alex Mitchell is a prime example of how Albertus’ experiential learning and development of critical thinking skills leads to a fulfilling career and professional accolades.”
The November 30 PRSA-CT celebration was held at The Russell House in Middletown. For the past six years, Albertus has won PRSA honors at every level in a wide range of categories, from reputation/brand management to blogs and from media relations to website redesign.
