Notables. . .

Two recruitment publications developed by Daytona State’s Marketing and Communications Department took home honors during the 62nd annual Association of Florida Colleges Convention held last month in Naples. The college’s Viewbook took first-place honors in the Best Viewbook/Recruitment Piece category, and its Travel Piece took second place in the Best Bang for Your Buck category.

The Association of Florida Colleges has launched a Certified College Professional Program which provides members the opportunity to earn a designation related to their work as college professionals. The program covers aspects of the Florida College System that current employees may not be exposed to in their day-to-day work environment. The CCP designation will be recognized by all colleges in the Florida system and can lead to opportunities for professional advancement.  For more information, please visit www.myafchome.org.
