APPLETON – Fox Valley Technical College received a 2022 Paragon Award from the National Council for Marketing & Public Relations (NCMPR) earlier this month. 

The Bronze Award for Successful Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Marketing, celebrates the college’s marketing team for its work highlighting FVTC graduate Xiong Yang and his career as one of only a handful of Hmong firefighters in Wisconsin.

“We are honored Xiong shared his family’s story of perseverance with our team, and in turn, trusted us to share it with our college community,” Barb Dreger, director of College Marketing, said. “Xiong is using his profession as an outreach tool to embrace diversity in the community and inspire Hmong children to think about their future. Neenah Menasha Fire Rescue is fortunate to have Xiong on its staff, and we are fortunate to call Xiong an FVTC alum.”

The 2022 Paragon Awards – which recognize outstanding achievement in design and communication at community and technical colleges – drew 1,726 entries from 323 colleges across the country and was judged by more than 40 marketing and public relations professionals.

It’s the only national competition of its kind that honors excellence exclusively among marketing and public relations professionals at two-year colleges.
