New UCDA and CASE Awards for Findings

The Spring/Summer 2010 issue of Findings magazine received two awards in the 40th annual design competition of the University & College Designers Association, held during the summer of 2010. The publication received an Award of Excellence for overall design, and a Silver Award in the Going Green category, which recognizes the efforts the publication has made in furthering goals of environmental sustainability in the magazine's production.

The magazine is printed on Rolland Enviro100, a 100% post-consumer fiber paper that is manufactured using biogas energy captured from a landfill near the paper manufac-turer. Each issue represents a substantial reduction in the amount of virgin timber, solid waste, water, and air emissions compared to printing on virgin pulp paper. Findings is printed at University Litho in Ann Arbor, a Forest Stewardship Council-certified printer, using vegetable-based inks that are 91% free of volatile organic compounds.

The Fall/Winter 2009 and Spring/Summer 2010 issues of Findings won the gold award for Best Specialized or Unit-Level Magazine in the 2010 Pride of CASE V District Awards program. Part of the international Council for the Advancement and Support of Education (CASE), CASE District V encompasses Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio, and Wisconsin.
