Missives to and from the Hill
I received my copy of The Hill [autumn 2022 issue] … and was happily surprised at the magazine cover, and the feature articles on Lee Primm, James Martin, [and] leading off with the 150th celebration of the Alumni Association. Wow! What great publicity. The articles were so well done, along with the pictures that accompanied the text. The rest of the magazine really captured our place in today’s higher education landscape as well.

Home run — out of the park. Great job! The cover with Lee Primm, followed by an excellent article, a good article on James Martin, and all photos had names.
The change in paper I hope saved you money, and if so, stick with it. It wasn’t as pretty as the previous slick stock, but who cares as long as the print stays as good.
Bask in your glory, but don’t get cocky! It is harder to stay on top than it is to get there, Dick Clower ’50 once told me.

We are thrilled to share that The Hill won two 2022 Best of CASE District II awards.
The spring 2021 issue’s feature story, “The Man With a Plan … and a Plan B,” about Mike McKelvin ’88 and his new brewery in Carroll County was honored in the Storytelling category. This category celebrates projects that demonstrate a multifaceted approach to telling a single story, using multiple elements and delivered using a variety of media. The magazine story was accompanied by a video and was shared widely on social media by McDaniel, McKelvin, and 1623 Brewing.
Our summer 2021 issue feature on James A. Felton III ’95, M.S. ’98 was awarded Best of District II in the Writing: News/Feature category for articles of 1,000 words or more. This category honors articles with a focus on a trend, current issue, or topic of interest, and Felton’s story fit the bill with the increased focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion in the Alumni Association and its leadership.
The Council for Advancement and Support of Education (CASE) District II is the largest of the eight CASE districts. Fellow Best of District II award winners in these two categories included New York University, University of Pittsburgh, Princeton University, Columbia University, University of Maryland, and Johns Hopkins University.
