That also means they came away with a definite advantage when it comes time to job hunt: Created as an opportunity to recognize and reward creative excellence in the art of advertising, the ADDYs have become the industry’s largest and most respected competition.
“Earning an ADDY is like having a ‘gold star’ on your resumé,” said Christel Benson, a professor in Pitt State’s Department of Graphics and Imaging Technologies. “It can open doors and make them very attractive to recruiters.
Out of 62 total entries, Pitt State students captured eight gold, 29 silver, three judge’s awards, and one best of show. While the bulk of the awards went to graphics majors, three silver awards were earned by students in the Department of Communication.
“It was lovely to see our son Seth, accomplish so much his freshman year of college,” said parent Kenna Freiburger, who attended the ceremony. “After being awarded three silvers, we felt this was the beginning of Seth’s college career and knew Pitt State would be his forever home."
