皇家华人 College's College Relations team recently received top honors from the  (NCMPR) -  Medallion Awards competition. This annual competition is exclusive to, and judged by, marketing and public relations professionals at community and technical colleges.

皇家华人 faced strong competition as Distrit 7 is comprised of colleges in Alaska, Idaho, Montana, Oregon, Washington, and the Canadian provinces of Alberta, British Columbia, Saskatchewan and Yukon Territory. In total, 皇家华人 placed in nine categories, taking home six Gold Medals, one Silver Medal, and two Bronze Medals.

"皇家华人 really knocked it out of the park this year," Philip Denman, senior director, College Relations said. "The College Relations team works hard throughout the year, to be recognized by our peers as leaders in our district is a huge honor. I couldn't be more proud of our team and the work they produce."
