In addition, Gabrielle Creazzo won two Silver ADDY Awards for her package designs. Students competed against five other local colleges for the awards.
Faculty and undergraduate students represented winning entries in the professional competition as well. Art Department faculty members won a Silver ADDY for a team poster project illustrated by Dennis Corrigan, assistant professor of art, and designed by Chris Medley, associate professor of graphic design, and John Meza, associate professor of art. Niki DiGaetano, Tannersville, Pa., graphic design major, won a Community Spotlight Award for her internship design work for the local nonprofit ScrantonMade.
