Pennsylvania College of Technology has been honored with three awards in an annual competition sponsored by CUPRAP – The Association of Communicators in Education, including recognition of the institution’s 2014 Centennial celebration.
Public Relations & Marketing at Penn College earned a Gold CUPPIE in the Public Relations Feature Article category, a Gold in the Photography division and a Silver for the college's overall 100th-anniversary marketing campaign.
“Flying Start,” a story on building automation student Scott D. Hubler's foray into auto racing, was awarded the Gold CUPPIE in the Public Relations/Media Relations Feature Article category. Written by Tom Speicher, writer/video editor, the article appeared in the Fall 2014 issue of the college's One College Avenue magazine.
It was the second consecutive Gold for Speicher, who placed atop the same category in last year's competition.
The college’s other Gold CUPPIE was awarded for a photo taken by Marc T. Kaylor, a student photographer, at last February’s Centennial concert by the Grammy Award-winning band Switchfoot.
