The NCMPR Medallion Awards honor outstanding marketing and public relations achievements that advance the mission of community and technical colleges. For ECC, the recognition underscores how strategic storytelling and creative outreach directly support student enrollment, community engagement, and awareness of college resources.

The Medallion Award winners were recently announced during the NCMPR’s annual District 3 conference, held in Indianapolis.

ECC earned four gold Medallions for a Black History Month flyer, a Welcome Week flyer for fall 2024, a digital advertisement for the Ignite Your Future campaign, and an outdoor display for Amazon locker wraps. The team also received six silver and five bronze awards across categories, recognizing design, digital, and on-campus marketing work.
