Media Award - 2019

Each year the Boards Association recognizes print, audio, and visual media efforts about Wisconsin Technical Colleges that meet the following four criteria:

• The nomination portrays today’s technical college learning environment positively, with originality and creativity;
• It portrays the benefits of technical college education on individuals and their communities;
• It reports positively about the technical college's service and contributes to a better public understanding of the college’s mission; and, finally,
• It thoroughly covers the subject matter in a stimulating and clear fashion.

We were honored to review the nominations for several really extraordinary submissions this year.
