CASE honors for Boston College Magazine
Boston College Magazine has continued its run of success in the Council for Advancement and Support of Education Circle of Excellence Awards. The University’s alumni publication won the 2023 CASE District 1 Award for its Winter 2022 and Fall 2022 issues in the categories of general excellence and writing.
BCM’s award-winning features included the Winter 2022 profile
“Investment Opportunities,” which focused on 2019 Carroll School of
Management alumna Meagan Loyst, a champion of diversity in venture
capital funds and who placed on Forbes’ 2022 30 under 30 list, and “The
Odds Father” (Fall 2022), which profiled Carroll School of Management
Professor of the Practice Richard McGowan, S.J., the “sin priest” who
has spent his career studying humanity’s vices, namely alcohol,
cigarettes, and gambling.
The magazine also won writing awards for “Breathtaking” (Fall 2022), about Morrissey College of Arts and Sciences alumnus Gunnar Esiason ’13; “A Poet in Full” (Winter 2022), on Morrissey College alumnus C. Dale Young ’91; and “A One-Man Cast of Thousands” (Summer 2022), a profile of Carroll School alumnus P.J. Byrne ’96.
CASE, in its announcement of the award winners, said that Boston College Magazine’s “creative and innovative ideas will serve as an inspiration to countless others in the months and years ahead.”
Produced by the Boston College Office of University Communications, Boston College Magazine is published three times a year and delivered to nearly 200,000 households. The magazine has expanded its audience through digital storytelling with the e-newsletter BC Magazine Now, featuring online exclusive content, photos, a podcast, videos, and social media, as well as the magazine website. BCM has earned several CASE Awards in recent years.
The premier recognition program for educational advancement, CASE
