The Olivet College Office of College Relations was recently recognized by the Central Michigan Chapter of the Public Relations Society of America (CMPRSA) for its production of Shipherd’s Record, the college’s alumni magazine. The publication won the Pinnacle Award in the chapter’s 2007 PACE Awards magazines category.

The PACE Awards are presented each year as mid-Michigan’s highest honor of public relations activities. These awards are given to public relations practitioners who have shown exemplary professional skill, creativity and resourcefulness.

Each year, CMPRSA invites institutions, for-profit and non-profit organizations, companies and government agencies in Clinton, Eaton, Genesee, Gratiot, Ingham, Jackson, Livingston and Shiawassee counties to submit public relations campaigns and individual tactic elements for judging by a group of peers. The submissions must meet the highest standards of performance in the profession.

Olivet’s Office of College Relations includes Jerry Rashid, assistant vice president for college relations; Bruce Snyder, director of publications and web development; Shannon Tiernan, director of college relations and special events; Marty Jennings, director of alumni relations; Pam Rutyna, college relations specialist; and Geoff Henson, sports information director.
