The summer 2007 issue of the Earlhamite won a Merit Award in the External Publication category of the Admissions Advertising Awards.

RICHMOND, Ind. — Earlham College has been named a Merit Winner in three categories in the 23rd Annual Admissions Advertising Awards sponsored by the Admissions Marketing Report, one of the nation's leading marketing publications for higher education.

Earlham's Virtual Tour, the "Athletics @ Earlham" brochure and the Summer 2007 issue of the Earlhamite magazine all received Merit Awards in their respective categories.

"I submitted this issue because I felt it was it was particularly successful, in terms of both writing and visual elements," says Jonathan Graham, Earlhamite Editor. "The International Effect" was the theme of the summer 2007 issue, which included several feature articles by alumni. The Earlhamite is designed by Commercial Artisan in Indianapolis.

"The subject matter allowed me to use some terrific photographs taken during various international programs," Graham says. "The variety of perspectives included in the magazine was a real strength."

Earlham's Graphic Designer Julia Jensen created the brochure, which is aimed at prospective Earlham students who are interested in athletics. The colorful 10-page brochure features photos and short profiles about athletes who play varsity sports at Earlham.

"We thought personal testimonies would be far more interesting than a laundry list of our sports," says Jensen, who also won Silver and Gold Awards for publications during the 2006-2007 contest.

Earlham's Virtual Tour was created by 361 Studios in Columbus, Ohio, and won the Merit Award in the New Media category. The online tour is highly interactive and uses advanced computer modeling, graphics and streaming video to help prospective students visit the campus from the comfort of their home. The tour combines abundant information about campus culture with extensive details about facilities.

More than 2,000 entries were received for this year's Admissions Advertising Awards, the largest educational advertising awards competition in the country.
