The University of Portland was among institutions recognized for their work by the Council for Advancement and Support of Education (CASE).

The marketing and communications department earned high honors at the Circle of Excellence awards. The hard-bound edition of Sweet Dreams, Storycatcher was a Grand Gold winner for book design, one of only 26 Grand Golds awarded. The book is a collection of essays written for Portland Magazine by the late Brian Doyle.

The Junior Viewbook earned a bronze award in the viewbook/prospectus category, out of 132 bronzes awarded, citing “The University of Portland’s viewbook beautifully conveys the university’s interest in the life of the mind, beginning with the cover statement, ‘when we wonder’…” It was one of four to be recognized in the viewbook/prospectus category.

The development office was recognized with a Educational Fundraising Award, an honor given each year to exceptional fundraising programs at educational institutions in the United States. UP is among a select group of more than 90 colleges and universities receiving awards this year. The University is being recognized for Overall Performance, based on the judges’ blind analysis of three years of fundraising data submitted to CASE’s AMAtlas Voluntary Support of Education Survey (VSE).

In addition, the development office was honored with a Sustained Excellence Award, which is granted to those exceptional organizations that have been recognized with overall performance and/or overall improvement in three of the past five years.
