Today at Folio:Show in Chicago, the 2008 FOLIO Awards were announced, “the top awards for editorial and design excellence in the largest competition for magazines.”

The 2007 issue of Suffolk Arts+Sciences received the Gold EDDIE Award for Supplemental Annual/One-Shot, Full Issue, recognizing editorial excellence for an entire issue.

The magazine also took home the Bronze OZZIE Award for Best Design, New Magazine, Association/Non-Profit. Seth Sirbaugh, art director/graphic designer for Suffolk Arts+Sciences and creative director at Bates Creative Group, took the Gold in that same category with another of his designs, Insight magazine.

Folio Awards are prestigious honors within the magazine publishing industry, and both achievements are significant recognition of the College’s alumni magazine, which has received five national design and editorial awards since its launch in July 2007.

The 2007 premier issue of Suffolk Arts+Sciences has recently been nominated for two more magazine awards: the Folio: Eddie and Ozzie awards. A “highlight of FOLIO is the magazine’s recognition of the industry’s best editorial and design achievements. The Eddie Awards honor the quality of magazine content while the Ozzie Awards recognize excellence in magazine design.”

FOLIO named Suffolk Arts+Sciences as a finalist in the following two categories:

OZZIE Awards Nomination (design)–Best Design, New Magazine,  Association/Non-Profit
EDDIE Awards Nomination (editorial)–Supplemental Annual/One-Shot,  Full Issue

Winners will be announced September 22, 2008 from the Folio: Show in Chicago.

The second issue of Suffolk Arts+Sciences is at the printer and will be shipped next week. Issues are mailed directly from the printer to alumni, University staff, trustees, and to the home addresses of current students. Copies will also be mailed to students’ local residences when the addresses are available in October.  We’ll be stocking the lobbies around campus with copies, and you’re also welcome to stop by the Dean’s Office on the first floor of the Donahue building, 41 Temple Street to request copies.

The new issue includes stories about the Alternative Winter Break in El Salvador, teaching and mentoring African American students, Suffolk icon Coach Jim Nelson, and a student play about homelessness in Boston.

We also highlight six of our outstanding faculty in the new section “Innovations & Excellence,” and shine the spotlight on seven exemplary students in the recurring “Standout Talent” department. The “After College” alumni pages illustrate the College’s vibrant alumni community and events held throughout the year. And once again, “The Gallery” is a visual feast of some of the gorgeous artwork created by faculty and students at New England School of Art & Design at Suffolk University.  “New on the Hill” continues to offer an inspiring picture of exciting new developments at the College and University.

Pick up a copy, better yet, pick up two and send one to a friend or parent to share the dynamic stories and images of the College of Arts & Sciences community!
