Lauren Skrade, a junior graphic design student at Bob Jones University, was presented an award by the American Advertising Federation (AAF) Greenville at the annual AAF Gala Saturday, Feb. 24.

The American Advertising Awards Competition is a three-tiered national competition conducted annually by AAF and is the largest and most representative competition for both professional and student creative excellence in the advertising industry.

Skrade, a resident of Taylors, received the Gold award, Integrated Brand Identity Campaign, and silver awards, Logo Design and Editorial Design.

"It is exciting and rewarding to see our current students and graduates recognized for their excellence in design and advertising," says Jay Bopp, associate professor and chair of BJU's Division of Art and Design. "We count it a privilege to work with such talented and dedicated students, and their success in school and beyond provide confirmation that we're on the right track."

In addition, several BJU graduates won a variety of awards in the professional division, many of them winning multiple awards. The prestigious AAF Silver Medal was awarded to BJU alumnus David McQuaid for his lifetime service to the Greenville advertising industry.
