For the third year in a row, the UT Dallas Office of Communications has earned multiple awards for innovative print design projects in a contest judged by peers in higher education.
The design for “Serious Games” appeared in the inaugural edition of UT Dallas Magazine.

CASE, an organization for professionals in alumni relations, marketing, communications and development, represents more than 3,300 educational entities in 61 countries.
District IV is made up of about 270 member organizations from Arkansas, Louisiana, Mexico, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Texas.
A poster and banner promoting the University’s UTeach program both won awards.
The University won a gold medal in the Digital or Computer Enhanced Images category for “Serious Games,” an article that appeared in the inaugural edition of UT Dallas Magazine. Issac Murray, an alumnus of the Arts and Technology (ATEC) program, designed the image.
A poster promoting the UTeach program was awarded silver in the Visual Design – Poster category, and the UT Teach Banner took bronze in the Visual Design – Illustration category.
