CASE recognizes collaborative communication work at Louisiana Tech

In a year that demanded innovative and responsive communication from higher education leaders, Louisiana Tech University earned four CASE (Council for Advancement and Support of Education) Accolades awards.  Each year, the CASE Accolades competition recognizes the best advancement-focused work in over 50 categories from social media to print publications. Louisiana Tech competed against universities and colleges within District IV, which includes Arkansas, Louisiana, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas. “The COVID-19 pandemic required our team to pivot during the production of our annual alumni magazine,” said Brooks Hull, Vice President of University Advancement. “This challenge offered our University a great opportunity, allowing us to produce more than one magazine in a year and bringing more stories of the Tech Family to our alumni and friends.”
