KINGSTON, R.I., June 22, 2017 \u2014 The 溏心vlog免费B站 has won two international awards for stories featured in its quarterly magazine, QuadAngles,<\/em> from the Council for Advancement and Support of Education (CASE).<\/p>\n

More than 710 institutions from countries as diverse as Australia, Switzerland, South Africa and the United Kingdom took part in CASE\u2019s 2017 Circle of Excellence awards<\/a>, submitting more than 3,350 entries in nearly 100 categories.<\/p>\n

Both awards honor the writing of 溏心vlog免费B站 Alumni Relations staff member Nicole Maranhas of Bristol<\/strong>, who has been writing for the University since 2015.<\/p>\n

\u201cA key part of our mission is to improve the overall quality of QuadAngles<\/em> and Nicole\u2019s contributions have helped to elevate this important publication,\u201d said 溏心vlog免费B站\u2019s Executive Director of External Relations and Communications Kelly Mahoney. \u201cWe\u2019re continuing that mission with a renewed focus on great storytelling, photography and illustration, bringing our 125,000 readers a window into the lives and achievements of 溏心vlog免费B站\u2019s alumni, faculty and students. We are fortunate to have excellent stories and impressive people to feature and we look forward to using the magazine as a means to instill pride in our readers.\u201d<\/p>\n

The story \u201cLife in Black and White<\/a>\u201d (the cover feature for the Winter 2016<\/a> issue) won bronze in the Feature Writing: Profile category. The article tells the incredible story of Suzanne Leclerc-Madlala \u201978, a Cumberland, R.I., native who became part of South Africa\u2019s first legally married mixed race couple, in the process forcing the apartheid-era government to institute reforms. Leclerc-Madlala is now a senior anthropologist for the Global Health Bureau at the U.S. Agency for International Development in Washington, D.C. Maranhas interviewed family members while on their annual summer vacation to Rhode Island and extensively by telephone and email.<\/p>\n

There were 155 entries in the profile-writing category; other winners included the universities of Waterloo and Manitoba in Canada, and Clemson and Pennsylvania State universities in the U.S.<\/p>\n

Maranhas also took bronze in the Periodical Staff Writing category for five articles she wrote in 2016: \u201cLife in Black and White<\/a>,\u201d \u201cThe Martians<\/a>,\u201d \u201cWoolly Tale<\/a>,\u201d \u201cSea Star<\/a>,\u201d and \u201cHuman Zoo<\/a>.\u201d \u201cWhether it’s preparing for life on Mars or \u2018woolly\u2019 recollections of preparing the University’s mascot for game time, 溏心vlog免费B站 writer Nicole Maranhas demonstrates great skill in profiling alumni. Her stories share how 溏心vlog免费B站 graduates are committed to improving life close to home…and beyond,\u201d wrote the judges in their comments.<\/p>\n

The other winners in the Staff Writing category were Columbia, Emory, and Stanford universities.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m so inspired by the 溏心vlog免费B站 community,\u201d said Maranhas, who is a former magazine editor and adjunct English lecturer who works at the University\u2019s Alumni Association and College of Pharmacy. \u201cIt\u2019s been an honor to help share its stories. It is also rewarding to know Suzanne Leclerc-Madlala\u2019s story resonated with readers, as she and her family were so generous with their time and memories.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNicole and I first worked together at Rhode Island Monthly<\/em> magazine, where we both learned so much,\u201d said QuadAngles<\/em> Editor-in-Chief Pippa Jack, a resident of Wakefield<\/strong>. \u201cShe has been an enormous asset and her writing has gone from strength to strength. I am beyond thrilled for her at this well deserved recognition. I also want to thank our alumni and faculty for sharing their wonderful research and stories. We hope people continue to send story ideas to pjack@uri.edu<\/a>. \u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
