While Wabash Magazine was slipping into the ranks of CASE award-winning magazines, the College’s offices of Admissions and Alumni Affairs were blasting in.
CASE honored Wabash’s class agent system with a Seal of Excellence award, recognizing the work of the alumni affairs team—Mike Warren, Michele Tatar, and Heather Bazzani—under the direction of Tom Runge ’71.
CASE also recognized the College’s alumni admissions program with a Circle of Excellence Award. The program, originally developed by Runge as a way of engaging alumni more intimately in the student recruitment process, is now managed by Steve Marcou ’93, and has resulted in back-to-back years of more than 1,000 alumni referrals to the admissions office.
Dean for College Advancement Joe Emmick ’92 was understandably pleased, noting that Wabash has now won four CASE awards in the last two years.
"So much of our work is behind the scenes in support of Wabash’s educational program that it’s nice when our programs are honored by our peers in higher education."
