Breanne Evans and Quinnie Calvert were recognized as winners in the esteemed 2020 Clarion Awards competition.

Evans and Calvert are both graphic design student workers in the Marketing and Public Information Department at Heartland Community College. Evans, a Normal local, graduated Heartland in 2019 and transferred to Illinois State University. Calvert, a Clinton local, graduated Heartland in the Spring of 2020.

The students were awarded a Clarion for their project, “Art at Heartland Community College,” in the Promotional Video Production category.

Evans was assigned the project by Heartland Community College’s Marketing Team and worked with her teammate, Calvert, to shoot the footage and put the commercial together.
