ROCK HILL, SOUTH CAROLINA - From the delicate dogwoods blooming in the spring to the
burbling fountain to Scholars Walk buzzing with students, the Winthrop University
campus is a beautiful place.
A video celebrating the campus' beauty led to Winthrop capturing its
first Grand Award from the Council for the Advancement and Support of Education (CASE) District III.
The video took the top prize in the recruitment video category. Out of more than 1,000
overall awards entries for CASE District III, only 59 received the Grand Award designation.
Entitled
"This Campus," the 2-minute video showcases stunning images and video of the Winthrop campus. In
voice-overs and in-person interviews, students share their favorite places on campus
and how its beauty aided in their decision to attend Winthrop.
"This Campus," created by
Winthrop videographer Shawn Cetrone, defeated nearly 20 other entries for the Grand Award title. The recruitment video
category judging coordinator said committee members were impressed by the video's
quality, its student voice and its closed-captioning which complies with the Americans
with Disabilities Act.
"It's an honor to be recognized in such a highly competitive field of quality work,"
Cetrone said. "For this project, we took the lead from students and visitors who consistently
praise Winthrop's beauty. We set out to make an honest piece that showcased that beauty
and let students speak for themselves, sharing their unscripted thoughts."
Since its posting on Facebook and YouTube, "This Campus" has been viewed more than
25,000 times and prompted online discussion among alumni, students, faculty, staff
and the community about the campus.
