Nexus, the Northwestern Michigan College magazine, won the top award for print magazine from the National Council for Marketing and Public Relations, a professional organization representing marketing and PR professionals at two-year colleges.

The summer 2021 issue received a gold Paragon award at the NCMPR conference in Denver March 25. Judges called the magazine fun and interesting to read. “Great design, great feel, great job.”

An affiliate of the American Association of Community Colleges, NCMPR has more than 1,500 members from nearly 550 colleges across the United States and Canada. Nexus had previously won at the regional level. The magazine, mailed twice a year to more than 45,000 college alumni, donors, volunteers, retirees, community leaders and other supporters, also won the gold Paragon in the 2017 national competition. Its editorial content is created by NMC’s Public Relations, Marketing & Communications department. Design and printing services are provided by MyNorthMedia.
