Four University-Produced Video Projects Win Telly Awards
The 'Undercover Osprey' video created for President Joe Bertolino's inauguration won a silver award in the Non-Broadcast General-Educational Institution category.
Galloway, N.J. — Four video projects created by Stockton University’s Production Services and University Relations and Marketing departments were recognized at the 45th annual Telly Awards. The department received three silver awards and a bronze award.
“It’s always a wonderful honor to receive these awards,” said Mark Jackson, director of Production Services. “The ‘Undercover Osprey’ video was an especially fun project with a talented cast.”
The “Undercover Osprey” video was launched at the April 12 inauguration of new Stockton President Joe Bertolino. In the video, President Joe is put in the shoes of a Stockton student to give him a different perspective of the institution he has been tasked to lead. Under the guise of Preston Joseph, the new president got a new ID card, sampled campus cuisine and found a campus activity that spoke to him.
“President Joe wanted a nontraditional inauguration ceremony with a different twist on all the pomp and circumstance,” said Geoffrey Pettifer, the associate vice president for University Relations and Marketing. “And we thought this take on the popular TV show ‘Undercover Boss’ was a fun and creative way to introduce him to the Stockton community.”
