Magazine Brings Home Gold

PORTLAND STATE MAGAZINE was recognized with two regional awards from the Council for Advancement and Support of Education (CASE). The Spring 2020 issue—a reader favorite, according to survey data—won a gold award for best magazine on a limited budget. Judges noted that the cover feature, “1970: The Year That Shaped PSU,” was a “standout for its approach, writing and design” and that “revisiting these events in 2020 brings a whole new level of engagement to the historical retelling.” Written by Suzanne Pardington Effros, the cover feature also won a silver award for writing. CASE is North America’s largest higher education advocacy organization. CASE’s District VIII represents institutions in Oregon, Washington, Montana, Idaho and Alaska, as well as seven Canadian provinces.
