We're thrilled to announce that the Advancement Office has been collecting awards over the past year. Most recently, Nexus won gold for the Best School/University Publication, bronze for Most Improved Design, and an honourable mention for Most Improved Editorial in the Magnum Opus 2011 awards. And "Open Access," written by executive editor Lucianna Ciccocioppo for the Spring/Summer 2010 issue about the Faculty of Law's access to justice initiative, landed a silver for Best Feature Article. Sponsored by custom media producer ContentWise, in partnership with the Missouri School of Journalism, the Magnum Opus competition had 560 global entries in about 200 categories.
Plus, the "Decade Dozen" feature published in the Fall/Winter 2010 edition of Nexus, and promoted online, landed a silver for Best Alumni Initiative in the Canadian Council for the Advancement in Education (CCAE) Prix d'Excellence competition, which includes entries from more than 140 post-secondary institutions across Canada.
The law school's reunion ad in the Spring/Summer 2010 issue, featuring a spa theme, and created by senior development officer Sandra Janzen and the UofT design team, was awarded a bronze in the Council for Advancement and Support of Education (CASE) Circle of Excellence competition, a global contest for the best advancement and communications publications and projects by post-secondary institutions.
And finally, the inside illustration for "Open Access" by artist Dan Page received a bronze award in CASE's District II Accolades Awards, a regional contest that includes post-secondary institutions in eastern Canada and the U.S.
