Mt. Hood Community College Earns Four Medallion Wins, Igniting Community Pride!

Mt. Hood Community College’s Marketing and College Relations team proudly received four distinguished Medallion Awards at the recent District 7 National Council for Marketing and Public Relations (NCMPR) Conference.

These prestigious accolades celebrate outstanding achievements in marketing, communications, and design at community and technical colleges across five states and five Canadian provinces in NCMPR’s District 7, including Alaska, Idaho, Montana, Oregon, Washington, and the Canadian provinces of Alberta, British Columbia, Saskatchewan and Yukon Territory.

MHCC earned gold for our government and community relations campaign centered on the MHCC bond campaign, a true community effort that involved collaboration and support across the college and the broader community. This honor reflects the shared commitment to securing resources that will shape the future of Mt. Hood Community College and our local workforce. Because of the Gold award, the MHCC marketing team will automatically be entered into the national competition in the spring where it will compete against upwards of 1,000 community colleges.

Additional awards include a silver for the Foundation’s auction and gala special event fundraising campaign, and two bronze awards: one for the auction and gala promotional video (long form) and another for the “I Heart MHCC” microsite/landing page.

Mt. Hood Community College VP of Advancement Jennifer Boehmer expressed pride in the team’s accomplishments: “Our success is a testament to the creativity, dedication, and teamwork of our Advancement team, as well as the strong support from our college leadership and community partners. These awards reflect our commitment to engaging and inspiring our community through meaningful campaigns that advance the mission of MHCC.”

These awards recognize the department’s exceptional ability to craft compelling messages, strengthen community engagement, and elevate the MHCC brand in a competitive landscape. Their work continues to amplify the college’s role as a vital educational and workforce resource in the region.
