Nominate Now
The Department of Communication Arts at LAU and the Alumni Relations Office, have the pleasure to call for nominations to The 2020 Communication Arts Alumni Award.
In line with the Department of Communication Art’s new strategic direction, which is encapsulated in our motto #ReinventCommunication, and as 2020 coincides with the department’s 50th anniversary, the theme of this year’s award focuses on the ‘Next 50 Years of Communication Arts.’
Therefore, the 2020 Communication Arts Alumni Award will recognize an alumna or alumnus whose work is pioneering and innovative in the various fields of communication and whose life reflects the spirit of LAU’s motto: “To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.”
The Communication Arts Alumni Award aims to recognize innovative accomplishments, works, or activities that have contributed to improving the profession, art and/or science of communication—broadly conceived, and to honor an LAU Communication Arts graduate who has created, implemented, pioneered, or advocated for such innovations. The Communication Arts Alumni Award provides a venue for showcasing the accomplishments of our graduates and confirms the Department of Communication Art’s commitment to its students and graduates and its pride in their achievements and pursuits.
