Congratulations to Manor College’s Office of Marketing and Communications for earning 12 CUPPIE awards for creative excellence in Marketing and Communications. The 12 awards are the most the team has received in the institution’s history.

CUPRAP is a voluntary organization of communications professionals from colleges, universities and independent schools dedicated to advancing the understanding of higher education and enhancing the professional development of its members. The team received the awards during CUPRAP’s annual Spring Conference in Lancaster, Pa.

“Winning a CUPPIE or two from CUPRAP is a goal our team pursues every year with intentionality,” said Kelly Peiffer, Vice President of Marketing and Communications at Manor College. “We constantly ask ourselves, ‘Is this work CUPPIE-worthy?’ To see that dedication result in 12 CUPPIE awards this year is simply amazing.”

In total, more than 400 entries were received for this year’s CUPPIES. Manor College earned the second-most CUPPIES at this year’s conference, behind Susquehanna University’s 13 awards and ahead of other institutions such as Swarthmore College, La Salle University, Holy Family University and Duquesne University.
