CIIS received MERIT AWARDS in three categories in the Admissions Marketing Report's 20th Annual Admissions Advertising Awards. CIIS was noted for merit for our new Web site, our Lifelong Learning brochure, and our Recruitment package, a collection of pieces promoting the Institute with a coherent—and excellent!—look: viewbooks, program brochures, Open House invites, ads, and more. Our Recruitment package received merit in the same category with the likes of Harvard Medical School; our Web site with three noted law schools; and our Lifelong Learning brochure with Georgetown and Fairleigh Dickinson, many of which list big-name outside agencies as their creative.

CIIS’s creative team is the Communications Department, the Admissions Department (and Director Greg Canada with a guiding vision for recruitment marketing), and the dedicated faculty who all work together on these pieces, and, of course, Karim Baer in Lifelong Learning. Congratulations to all, but especially to our Creative Services Manager, Dana Beigel; our Web Manager, Susanna Spiro; and our Publications Manager, Valerie Bush, who are the true artists behind these pieces! The whole Communications team, including Multimedia Specialist Brian Shira, produce an amazing volume of superior work with uncanny speed and extraordinary good grace. It’s gratifying to see CIIS recognized among the award-winning schools.
