USU Marketing Claims Multiple Awards at ACUI Conference

May 13, 2022

The Marketing Department of the University Student Union secured 14 “Steal This Idea” awards at the Association of College Unions International (ACUI) Conference in Chicago in March.

 

Students and professional staff composed of graphic designers, strategists and copywriters enjoyed a successful yield at the conference, held in-person for the first time in two years. Awards were won in a variety of categories ranging from physical designs like logos and posters, to digital deliverables like social media campaigns, video and websites.

 

“Our students at the marketing department are the foundation to everything we accomplish,” said Steven Wein, interim marketing manager for the USU. “Through the guidance of our professional staff, our student employees have delivered top-level marketing campaigns to the CSUN campus community. These awards are a valuable milestone in their professional development.”
