Haverhill, MA (November 14, 2023) – The Council for Advancement and Support of Education (CASE) is recognizing the Northern Essex Community College alumni magazine, alumnecc, with a prestigious “Best of District 1” award. The fall 2022 edition of the magazine won in the Alumni/General Interest (Two-Year Institutions) category. The issue focused on the theme of “Better Together,” highlighting ways the NECC community and its alumni rebounded from the challenges of the pandemic.

“To be recognized by CASE is truly a special honor,” says NECC Vice President for Institutional Advancement Allison Dolan-Wilson. “Not only is it a testament to the hard work of our IA team at Northern Essex, but it demonstrates to our CASE colleagues around the globe the impact of this work at the community college level.”

CASE is a global nonprofit association dedicated to supporting educational advancement professionals—in alumni relations, communications, development, marketing, and advancement services. Other District 1 winners in the printed magazine categories include Boston University, Harvard University, Smith College, UMass Amherst, and Yale University.

The NECC Marketing and Alumni teams collaborate to produce two issues of alumnecc each year, one in the spring and one in the fall. The most recent edition, centered around the theme of the rise of artificial intelligence, was just published and mailed to more than 40,000 NECC alumni and friends.
