April 6, 2009, WESTFORD, MA -- Carnegie Communications, a leading higher education research, marketing and consulting firm with headquarters near Boston, MA, has received several awards for its creative enrollment marketing work in the 24^th Annual Admissions Advertising Awards national competition, sponsored by the Higher Education Marketing Report.

Carnegie was recognized for its Niagara University Total Recruitment Package (Bronze Medal), which resulted in attracting the two largest freshman classes in the University’s history (2007 and 2008) and an increase in both applications and campus visits.  

 “This is the second series of recruitment literature that the Carnegie team has produced for Niagara University,” said Christine McDermott, senior director of admissions at the University.  “I applaud this group not only for their professionalism but also for paying attention to the small details and assisting the university in presenting a clear, defined message.  These factors, merged together, created an award-winning series that helped NU achieve two banner recruitment years.” 

The firm also received a Bronze medal for a search collateral piece it produced for Howard Payne University and a Merit Award for its Joliet Junior College search piece.
