The School of Kinesiology and UBC Studios are proud to announce that the new KIN banner installed received a platinum Hermes Creative Award in the category of Print Media – Outdoor Advertising on May 1, 2019.
The Hermes Creative Awards are administered and judged by the Association of Marketing and Communications Professionals, which has been ongoing since 1994.
The banner features Scarlett Sparrow-Felix, a young athlete from the Musqueam community. It celebrates the heritage of the School of Kinesiology, and the Department of Athletics and Recreation housed within the War Memorial Gym. It is an acknowledgment that UBC stands on ancestral and unceded territory of the Musqueam people, and Scarlett’s family history. The banner symbolizes the future and the recognition of history, people, and place, and the important role the School of Kinesiology, and Athletics and Recreation play in the evolution of the university.
