Students in Pennsylvania College of Technology’s graphic design program were recently honored for their work in two competitions: the American Graphic Design & Advertising Awards and the American Advertising Federation of Northeast Pennsylvania ADDY awards.
Both competitions recognize excellence in design by professionals and students.

Brittany L. Mase, a senior from Liberty, won an Award of Distinction for her “Big City Mountaineers” annual report, and Carol Vargas, a junior from Norristown, won an Award of Distinction for her “Chicago Firehouse Restaurant” logo.
All winning work will be featured in a full-color, hardcover book. An online version of the publication will be posted.
Additionally, Nicholas L. Stephenson, instructor of graphic design, received an Award of Distinction in the professionals publication-design category for a magazine feature he designed titled “EcoLogic.”
Penn College students also won six of 10 awards presented at this year’s American Advertising Federation of Northeast Pennsylvania Student ADDYs.
