GAA Earns CASE Awards For Programs, Review

Posted on Feb. 21, 2012

The UNC General Alumni Association has received two awards for its programs and publications for 2011 from the Council for Advancement and Support of Education for the Southeastern district of the U.S. Kenan-Flagler Business School also won an award for its research magazine.

The GAA received an Award of Excellence for Overall Alumni Relations Programs for the eighth consecutive year, recognizing the GAA’s offerings related to career services, travel, lifelong learning, reunions, Carolina Clubs, athletics, admissions, Family Camp, legislative advocacy, and programs and events for young alumni, current students and their families.

The award recognizes excellence in the development and management of institutional advancement programs, with emphasis on planning, execution and evaluation of results.

The Carolina Alumni Review earned a Special Merit Award for “The Divine Miss Kitty,” a profile of Katherine Carmichael in the September/October issue. Carmichael, dean of women from 1946 to 1972, is one of Carolina’s most enduring characters for the impact she had on individual students and on the rules that governed their campus lives.

The GAA’s print and electronic publications have been recognized with national or district CASE awards each year since 1996.

Kenan-Flagler won a Special Merit Award for its magazine, R.O.I. Research Insights From UNC Kenan-Flagler.

In a separate competition, GAA-sponsored Order of the Bell Tower  won four awards from CASE’s Affiliated Student Advancement Programs.

CASE is the largest international association of educational institutions. It supports the work of alumni relations, communications and fundraising professionals at more than 3,200 schools, colleges, universities and related organizations in 55 countries.
