WVU News won two MarCom Awards for the Spring 2016 semester. The team won a News Program Gold Award for their Newscast “Substance Abuse: A West Virginia Epidemic” and the team received an honorable mention for the newscast “Evolution of Diversity in the Mountain State”.
MarCom Awards is a creative international competition for any individual or company involved in the concept, writing and design of print, visual, audio and web materials and programs. Entries come from corporate marketing and communication departments, advertising agencies, PR firms, design shops, production companies and freelancers. The MarCom competition has grown to perhaps the largest of its kind in the world with about 6,000 entries per year. A look at the winners shows a range in size from individuals to media conglomerates and Fortune 50 companies. The competition is so well thought of in the industry that national public relations organizations, local ad clubs, and local business communicator chapters are entrants.
Though finding romantic connection is a big part of the college experience, forming and maintaining healthy relationships can often be hard work. Do you feel comfortable asking for what you need from your partner? How do you know if things are moving too fast? How do you move beyond “Netflix and Chill?” And sometimes when relationships end, we find ourselves overwhelmed with intense emotions and feeling unsure of how to move on. As part of the Wellness Workshop Series, The Carruth Center will be offering a free Workshop designed to help students learn to recognize and form healthy relationships, and cope with the hurt of breaking up. The workshop will be on Tuesday, 11/1 from 6:30-7:30 in CPASS Room 101 and is open to all students.
