Saint Paul College received three Medallion awards at the recent NCMPR District 5 regional conference, including:

Silver for Website Redesign

This redesign enables information seekers to find compelling and critical content more easily with enhanced search functionality, simplified navigation, and an interactive program page. It also explains why prospective students should consider attending SPC using an easy-to-understand, authentic voice based on extensive research on what students look for when making their educational choices.

Silver for Postcard

Designed to be eye-catching and easy to navigate, SPC postcards serve as a vital resource for prospective students, delivering essential program details in an engaging format. The award-winning design balances clarity with aesthetic appeal, effectively guiding readers through key information at a glance. This thoughtful design and content layout approach highlights our commitment to quality educational resources.

Bronze for Excellence in Writing Short Form

For the story “From High School Dropout to 4.0, Nick Gill’s Upward Trajectory.”

2024 Medallion Awards

SPC received these awards at the annual regional conference held at the nearby Saint Paul Hotel. The conference included a keynote from Matt Majka, CEO of the Minnesota Wild hockey team. A session on mascot design was also held, which was relevant as SPC designs its new mascot.

“Receiving these Medallion awards affirms our commitment to authentic and transparent communication. We are dedicated to providing clear, easy-to-navigate information for all students, prospective students, and stakeholders, and we are honored that our efforts have been recognized by NCMPR.”
– Austin Calhoun, PhD, Vice President of Advancement and Communications, SPC
