Southwestern Adventist University Receives Award at Society of Adventist Communicators 

Southwestern Adventist University’s marketing team was awarded with the Video: Web Honorable Mention award during the Society of Adventist Communicators 2019 awards banquet, held on October 19, 2019 in Albuquerque, New Mexico.   The marketing team was honored for their work in the University’s departmental video series.

Each year, the Society of Adventist Communicators presents awards for projects in fourteen communication categories ranging from written word/print media to spoken word and from video to design. This year, over 130 projects were submitted and thirty-one were recognized. The Society issues awards in both professional and student categories. Despite the project team being primarily comprised of current Southwestern Adventist University students, they were awarded in the professional category which competed against industry professionals. 

The University’s Departmental Video Series features a collection of eleven videos which showcase the academic opportunities that Southwestern Adventist University offers. Exhibiting the degree programs available to students, viewers experience how the University’s personalized and competitive degree programs allow students to explore their passion as they prepare for their career.

“Videos are an integral part of telling our story,” said Tim Kosaka, Interim Director of Marketing and Public Relations. “This series showcases how our individually tailored academic opportunities integrate Knowledge, Faith, and Service and prepare students for a successful future.”

The Departmental Video Series was produced by Michael Demiar and written by Julena Allen with videography by Fern Isaleen Haylock-Youngberg, Eliangel Fermin, and Princess Music as well as logistical support by Taylor Tucker.
