Albertus Magnus College is pleased to announce that it has won four Telly Awards in three categories at the 41st Annual celebration of this industry-leading honor.  COVID-19 has had an unprecedented impact on film, video, and television, proving that story-telling is more important than ever.  Since the inaugural Telly Awards in 1979, winners have reflected the top tier of standard bearers of video excellence. 

A special congratulations goes out to Jason Dunn ‘18, Social Media Specialist at Albertus, Mike DeMatteo, principal of The Establishment, our video and digital content vendor, and Albertus student Alex Mitchell `21, Communications and Marketing Intern. 

The honored entries are: 

Bronze for Hockey Season Opener video, Category branded content, for editing

Bronze for Pop up Story Telling, Category Online, Webseries non-scripted

Silver for Alumni Success Stories! Category Webseries, Corporate Image

Bronze for Commencement 2019, Category Webseries, Corporate Image 

“This is a tremendous honor that speaks to Albertus’ commitment to ‘Nothing Less Than Excellence.’ It also demonstrates how our values- and  liberal arts-based foundation incorporates experiential learning as a key component of a student’s overall education.   When our students graduate, they are prepared to take-on the challenges of their chosen profession.  In this case in particular, when Alex graduates, he will have industry award winning work on his resume,” said Albertus Vice President for Enrollment Management and Marketing, Andrea Kovacs. 

This series of awards builds upon a foundation of accolades.  Last year, Albertus earned a bronze level Telly Award for its video presentation of the Silver Horn Scholarship as well as three Public Relations Society of America (PRSA-CT) awards for social media, website, and media relations.
