Albertus Earns CASE Best in District Award for Leadership DEI Initiatives

New Haven, Conn., October 24, 2022 – Albertus Magnus College is delighted to announce it has once again been recognized with a Best of CASE District 1 Award. The Council for Advancement and Support of Education (CASE) is a global non-profit, dedicated to those who champion education to transform lives and society. This year, Albertus was named Best of District 1 in the Leadership: Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Initiatives category for its tactical efforts to become a Federal Hispanic Serving Institution (HSI). To date, the College’s student body is 24-percent; the benchmark for an HSI is 25-percent for at least two consecutive years.

The entry was chosen from a competitive field for its creative, innovative, and inspirational idea. A special congratulations to members of the Communications and Marketing and Admissions teams: Director of Marketing and Creative Services Marisa Dragone; Media Communications Specialist Sarah Barr; Communications Manager Robert DiGioia ’26; Digital Content Producer Samantha Miller ’16; Coordinator of International Admissions Sr. Ana Gonzalez, O.P., and Leilim Chang- Salazar ’20 for this ongoing campaign.

“Albertus is proud of its diverse campus community and that pride is reflected in our outreach. The Falcon Family celebrates different cultures and this award honors our joy of storytelling at churches, schools, and events as well as on a wide variety of media platforms,” said Albertus Vice President for Enrollment Management and Marketing Andrea Kovacs.

Albertus’ Communications and Marketing team continues to attract accolades. In November 2021, the College earned a Gold Mercury Award from the Public Relations Society of America, Greater Connecticut Chapter (PRSA-CT), for this same entry. This is the College’s third CASE award.
