The Council for the Advancement and Support of Education (CASE), District 1, honored the University of Rhode Island Magazine<\/em> with seven 2024 Best-of-District-1 awards, including the overall magazine category for the spring and summer 2023 issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These awards recognize \u201cexceptional achievement in advancement services, alumni relations, communications, fundraising, and marketing. These are the creative, inspiring projects that impact institutions and their communities\u2014and transform lives around the globe.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The magazine is produced by the University of Rhode Island Division of External Relations and Communications team, led by editor-in-chief Barbara Caron, with contributions from team members including staff graphic designers Bruno Perosino and Cynthia McMillen and photographer Nora Lewis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe work hard to create and publish a lively array of stories and images that make readers feel connected and proud to be a part of this university 911±¬ΑΟ,\u201d says Caron. \u201cIt is an honor to be recognized for our team\u2019s work.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The magazine is mailed to 140,000 alumni and friends three times per year. It is also published online, and each new digital issue is emailed to alumni and friends, faculty, staff, and students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to the overall magazine recognition, the awards, announced on Oct. 23, included cover design, illustration, and four awards for feature writing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cover design award recognized the spring 2023 cover, which featured a photo by Aisha McAdams and graphic design by Bruno Perosino. The cover story, \u201cThe Second-to-Last Lobsterman on Block Island,\u201d by Marybeth Reilly-McGreen, received a 2024 CASE District 1 writing award.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of the spring 2023 cover, CASE judges said the title was intriguing and the subject matter authentic to Rhode Island, adding, “Excellent choices there. That they were lucky enough to have such fantastic photography to choose from and smart enough to use it makes this a winner.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
