On July 1, 2020, Messiah College officially became Messiah University. In the months leading up to that name change, my department, College Press renamed itself and rebranded. The department which had been known across campus for nearly 50 years as “College Press” became “Messiah Press” and with that name change came a slew of promotional activity, new signage, new forms, new web pages, and a new on-line ordering system. We are extremely honored that the hard work of this campaign has been recognized by the IPMA community. This award demonstrates a deep appreciation for the planning and purpose of the campaign as well as the remarkable graphic design and the impressive results, all of which occurred while working through pandemic related challenges. Thank you IPMA!
