At a January event in Boston, The Council for Advancement and Support of Education District 1 bestowed a Gold Award on Unity College for a “Unity is Different” video series that illustrates the college’s mission to educate the next generation of environmental professionals.

The series of five videos — “Create,” “Discover,” “Educate,” “Experience” and “Unity is Different” — introduces Unity College to a national and international audience and elicited emotional responses from viewers, according to a news release from the college.

The video series also was recognized as “Best in Show, Broadcast” at the American Advertising Federation of Gainesville American Advertising Awards on Feb. 20 in Florida.
