We were also able to educate conference attendees about branding as part of a presentation and panel discussion. Davia Rose Lassiter, director of marketing for CCPE, collaborated with Georgia Tech and Georgetown University for the “UPCEA Talks” series. The presentation, “University Brand: Beyond the Visual,” provided insight on how all three teams were able to successfully create a brand for professional education while still maintaining their connection to the main university.

Barbara Calhoun, dean, said, “Our team and our students are the reason we were able to have another successful year. These awards mean so much to us. We are truly honored to have UPCEA reward our hard work. It’s also great to have members from our college to represent this university and educate others on a national platform.”
