BSC's Marketing and Communications Department recently won awards for promotional materials for the 2006 Explore BSC campaign.

BSC won a Bronze Medallion Award in the brochure series category in the National Council for Marketing and Public Relations District 5 communications contest.

The brochure series was developed by Mary Friesz, director of marketing; Crystal Forster, public information assistant; and Deidre Pugh, admissions counselor. Explore BSC was an awareness campaign designed to engage traditional-age students, their parents and high school counselors by bringing them to the campus where they could talk with faculty and staff, and visit campus facilities.

The ad to promote Explore BSC received a "Teddy" award in the radio category of the N.D. Broadcasting Association awards program. Cumulus Broadcasting of Bismarck-Mandan produced the ad.
