DSU earns honors at CPRAM awards
CLEVELAND, Miss. - Delta State University's Office of Communications and Marketing once again earned statewide recognition for their creative work at the 2026 College Public Relations Association of Mississippi (CPRAM) Awards, held May 18-20 at the Heindl Center at Northwest Mississippi Community College in Senatobia.
For the third consecutive year, Staff Photographer Campbell Saia earned first place in Sports Photography, Senior Edition. Marketing Coordinator Holly Ray also received statewide recognition, earning third place in Wildcard Print, Senior Edition.
The annual CPRAM competition recognizes outstanding work in higher education communications, marketing, photography, design, video production and digital media from colleges and universities across Mississippi.
