The Claremont Village Marketing Group (CVMG) was
awarded the Claremont Colleges 2012 Community Partner of the Year Award on, at
the annual Town/Gown reception held on Wednesday, October 3 at the home of Dr.
Deborah Freund, president of Claremont Graduate University.
The Village marketing group was nominated
because of its outstanding partnership with the colleges in enhancing
Claremont’s town-gown relationships. Each year, the Village
Marketing Group joins with the Colleges to help welcome new students and their
parents to the lively community of Claremont. CVMG arranges for
ambassadors from various Village merchants to participate in resource fairs
organized for student, parent and international orientation programs, as well
as Alumni Weekend activities. They have been instrumental in organizing
the participation of city council members in the orientation programs, as well
as promote an Open House night in the Village each fall to welcome students,
faculty and staff to the Village. They are also an important participant
in the Colleges’ annual Five-College Turf Dinner and Club Fair.
The Community Partner of the Year Award is given
annually at the fall Town and Gown reception to recognize one business,
community agency, business and/or community person who has contributed
significantly during the past academic year to enhance Town/Gown relations with
a special focus on students. This recognition underscores the Colleges’ growing
efforts to strengthen community ties, especially in the city of Claremont.
