A new academic award for Corporate Communications & Public Relations students at Centennial College was announced on November 24, 2010 at the program’s 30th anniversary celebration.

The scholarship, donated by Frank Cerisano, Centennial College’s Executive Director of Development and Alumni Affairs, will be available for students enrolled beginning September 2010.

This new $1,000 award will be given to one graduating student from Corporate Communications & Public Relations who shows leadership in social media and is the winner of a competition to develop the best social media proposal for a not-for-profit organization.

The scholarship will help showcase the Corporate Communications and Public Relations program’s increased focus on social media, and also highlight Centennial College’s commitment to global citizenship and equity.
