CASE Awards

Recently, I have been working on putting together a couple entries for CASE awards for the foundation.  CASE stands for the Council for Advancement and Support of Education and they give out awards for best practices in various areas of university advancement such as fundraising, marketing, training, etc...In order to be considered for an award, a school must submit an entry that describes the program and why it is special or innovative. My supervisor came to me a while back and told me that she thought two of our departments, the Parents Association and the Office of Estate and Gift Planning, deserved CASE awards. She told me to take point on the project which meant doing the research for what was required, writing the entries and submitting all materials. It was interesting getting to know more about each of the departments and finding out what made each of them unique and how they demonstrated innovation. We're in the final stages of the submission process now. I've written drafts of the entries up and my supervisors are reviewing them. Everything is due by the end of next week.
