2009 Maroon & Gold Awards
Promoting Excellence in Communications
Maroon & Gold awards are presented annually to University
of Minnesota Communicators Forum (UMCF) members whose work
best embodies the University's core values: excellence,
innovation, integrity, diversity, academic freedom, collaboration,
sharing of knowledge, accountability, stewardship, and
service.
The awards highlight the significant role of communications
in shaping the relationship between the University and
its constituents: students and their parents; staff and
faculty; colleagues in higher education; leaders of business,
industry, and civic life; legislators and the general public.
Projects must successfully demonstrate timely, targeted,
credible messages combined with the most compelling concept,
format, design, and materials.
By promoting high standards, the awards program encourages
the interpretive, analytical, integrative, and creative
skills necessary to the communicator's task. In their organizations,
communicators must be both authoritative and collaborative,
as necessary. They are thinkers and doers whose work collectively
supports the University's primary mission.
