University of Limerick wins global gold at CASE Circle of Excellence awards

University of Limerick's Marketing and Communications team has won gold on the international stage for the 'superb storytelling' in a festive video.

'Little Gifts, Big Dreams at University of Limerick', a video showcasing how the magic of Christmas is linked to the possibilities that education can bring, won gold at the CASE Circle of Excellence awards.

Competing against third-level institutions from across the globe, UL took the top spot in the 'Videos: Holiday/Year-end' category, winning gold.

The CASE (Council for Advancement and Support of Education) Circle of Excellence Awards are regarded as a gold-standard in recognition for the international education sector.

Filmed in a variety of locations on the expansive 360-acre campus, the video features local performers from the Limerick-based Gemstars School of Performing Arts, Fiadh Hussey and Cara Dunne, along with Fiadh's mother Deirdre.

The video was conceived and directed entirely in-house by UL's Marketing and Communications team, working with videographer Ollie Phillips, a graduate from UL's Music, Media and Performance Technology programme.
