For their excellence in telling the stories of the University of Toronto community in print, video, podcasts and more, communications staff across the three campuses have received a wide range of honours.

U of T Communications (UTC) staff earned three #HigherEdSocial awards (Best of HESM 20-21), which celebrate the best work in social media and digital marketing and communications, for:

Best TikTok campaign (UTC Scarborough)
The New Normal podcast (UTC St. George)

The Council for Advancement and Support of Education (CASE), which recognized a wide array of U of T communicators earlier this year, recently announced its 2021 Circle of Excellence Awards. Two University of Toronto Magazine articles won silver in the feature writing category: “The Truth Saved My Life” by alumnus Tahmid Khan, as told to Rahul Kalvapalle, in the spring 2020 edition and “Out of Action, Comes Hope” by Raquel Russell in the winter 2020 edition.

Meanwhile, the Canadian Council for Advancement of Education (CCAE) 2021 Prix d’Excellence Awards which acknowledge outstanding achievements in alumni affairs, public affairs, communications, marketing, development, advancement services, stewardship and overall institutional advancement, recognized a number of U of T staff. Among the winners were U of T Engineering, winning two silver awards, including one for their video The Twelve Days of Skule, and University of Toronto Magazine, winning gold in two categories: best print magazine category and best feature writing category (for “The Truth Saved My Life”).

The National Magazine Awards also recognized communications staff, alongside other members of the U of T community recently for writing, design and photography.
