A Southeastern Louisiana University documentary has been recognized with a national Telly Award.
Produced by Southeastern’s Office of Marketing and Communications, the documentary, “Southeastern 100,” was honored at the 47th annual Telly Awards with a Bronze Telly in the Campaign-Educational Institution category for branded content campaigns created to feature or promote educational institutions.
“Receiving a national Telly Award for Southeastern 100 is a tremendous honor and a testament to the power of storytelling in preserving our history and celebrating our impact,” said Southeastern President William S. Wainwright. “As we reflected on a century of transforming lives and serving our region, this documentary captured the people, milestones, and traditions that define Southeastern. I am proud of our Marketing and Communications team for creating a lasting tribute to our university’s first 100 years and for sharing the Southeastern story with audiences far beyond our campus.”
Southeastern 100 gives a historical account of Southeastern’s first century. From Sept. 14, 1925, when Southeastern first opened its doors, to today, the documentary covers the historical events of the university and more.
