Awards and Honors

College Acceptance Video Wins Top National Award

The video was recorded last spring by student Ray Ostil, a U.S. Army veteran and Communication Studies major who was thrilled to learn he would be transferring to Stanford in the fall. Ostil shared the video with De Anza’s Office of Communications, which posted an edited version on the college social media channels – and won NCMPR's top award for a college social media post at the group’s annual convention in Florida this month. You can watch the video and read more about Ostil at deanza.edu/news/2022/stanford-transfer.
