UC Davis has been recognized by the Council for Advancement and Support of Education (CASE) with 36 “Best of District VII” awards. The honors were given for a range of campus initiatives, campaigns, and creative projects that highlight the university’s efforts in storytelling across its colleges and research centers.
District VII covers five Western U.S. states and two territories. The CASE awards celebrate outstanding programs and individuals, as well as campus-wide campaigns such as the “Year of the Eggheads.” Department-specific online magazines, video series, and other communications projects were also among those acknowledged.
In addition to these recent recognitions, UC Davis received 10 CASE Circle of Excellence Awards in July, including three Grand Gold awards.
A full list of award-winning projects is available on the CASE website.
