Cañada College Recognized Statewide for Marketing & Promotional Campaigns



The Cañada College Marketing & Outreach Department has been recognized by its peers, receiving two significant awards from the Community College Public Relations Organization (CCPRO) for its marketing, design and promotional work. Megan Rodriguez Antone, Jose Garcia, Mayra Arellano and Michael Ryan were recognized during CCPRO’s 2019 conference, which was held in San Diego. CCPRO is the organization representing community college public relations professionals from across California.
The Cañada team brought home two honors, called PRO Awards. The awards include First Place in the Marketing Campaign category for Cañada’s 50th Anniversary Celebration and Third Place in the Promotional Category for the Launch of the Campus Shuttle.

Cañada College was one of 41 community colleges or districts to receive a PRO Award this year. Judges selected winners in almost 42 categories from 343 submissions.



Student Support Needed to Attend Cannes Film Festival



For the third consecutive time, students from Cañada College's Digital Art and Animation program have been invited to show their films at the Cannes Film Festival in France. This year, Veronica Plante and Katie Burke will be screening their films at one of the most prestigious film festivals in the world, as well as have the opportunity to participate in workshops and forums to further their filmmaking skills.  

Cañada is the only community college nationwide that has students invited to screen at Cannes through Campus Movie Fest. These students are competing against established film programs at four-year colleges and routinely winning. It's a testament to their skill and drive. 

The students and their families pay their own travel expenses to Cannes. The SMCCCD Foundation has set up a donation link for contributions to help defray the student's expenses. Please consider donating; every little bit helps, and is a great way to show support for these amazing students and their hard work:
