Lumen wins national award

The University of Adelaide's colour magazine, Lumen, has won a national award for excellence.

The award comes from ADAPE (the Association of Development and Alumni Professionals in Education), a peak body in Australia, New Zealand and South-East Asia.

Lumen is published twice a year and showcases the University of Adelaide's many achievements to alumni, government, business and industry. Its particular focus is alumni of the university, with around 45,000 alumni receiving the magazine.

The judges were impressed with the high quality of the entries, with Lumen beating strong competition from Australia and New Zealand to win the award for best Tertiary Alumni/Community Magazine.

This is the second time Lumen has won the ADAPE National Award for Excellence, having originally won the award in 1996. Notably, the magazine has only been submitted to the awards twice and has won each time.

Produced by staff in the university's Marketing & Strategic Communications Office, Lumen is edited by John Edge with design and layout by Chris Tonkin and editorial input from staff in Alumni, Community Relations & Development.

Pamela Lyon was the editor of Lumen when it won its first ADAPE award in 1996.
