An honor to receive this award alongside the MHCC team!
We’re proud to be nationally recognized for excellence in marketing and public relations, earning three top honors in the highly competitive National Council for Marketing & Public Relations (NCMPR) Paragon Awards—the only awards program dedicated exclusively to professionals at two-year colleges.
This year’s competition included 1,585 entries from 216 colleges nationwide, with just 98 colleges recognized across 48 categories. MHCC stood out on the national stage earning:
🏆 Mark L. Olsen Best in Show – Historic MHCC Bond Passage (the highest honor, awarded to just one college in the nation!)
🥇 Gold Paragon Award – Government or Community Relations Campaign (Historic MHCC Bond Passage)
🥈 Silver Paragon Award – Special Event/Fundraising Campaign (MHCC Champions Gala)
These awards reflect a true community effort made possible by the dedication of our team and the support of our students, staff, faculty, and community members who helped bring these campaigns to life.
