The Illinois Woman’s Press Association judges used phrases like, “creative,” “innovative” and an “ingenious coupling of industry and non-profit” when they awarded Bradley University’s Super Cell PR six first places for their senior class project in public relations.

The awards were presented during the IWPA awards luncheon on May 21 in Chicago. Super Cell PR principals Bethany Doty (Elgin, IL), Megan King (Godfrey, IL), Dassie Rice (Knoxville, IL) and Caitlyn Stoeckley (New Lenox, IL) formed the temporary firm last Fall as members of Dr. Ron Koperski’s senior project class.

The awards were
First Place for Public Relations Campaign for a Non-Profit Institution:
First Place for Social Media Campaign, Facebook;
First Place Social Media Campaign for Twitter Account,
First Place for Podcast News Broadcast
First Place for Brochure 4-color Design,
First Place for Media Feature Release written for Non-Profit

The PR project allied a construction crew from Becker Construction Company with the non-profit Advocates for Access, an agency working to help elderly and handicapped people to stay in their homes. The project is continuing to flourish under the unique combination. It is also inspiring other construction companies and received national recognition in national industrial publications.

As recent graduates of Bradley’s Public Relations program, all four women are pursuing careers in the advertising/ public relations field.
