More than an annual report — this is an engaging and interactive celebration of the school's history and community. I so enjoyed the virtual reunions of alumni through the decades. Wonderful stories! Fantastic presentation!

The interactive content in this piece utterly distinguishes it as an experience, not just marketing collateral. This is a true reimagination of what an annual report can be, and how it can tell the story of a school through the voices and perspectives of many. Simply brimming with nostalgia.

Gorgeous photography and powerful intergenerational storytelling. Brilliant colors and bold repetition of new mission statement create a sense of momentum in this piece, an invitation that says "this is something you want to be a part of". Impressive.

Love the concept of putting their updated mission statement on the cover and then in several places throughout the publication. Design and photography were top-notch, and the stories illustrate why people should support Kent Place.

This piece simply oozes Xavier's brand. The storytelling is indepth, personal, and touching. The "why I give" vignettes from alumni are authentic, and motivating. The themes of brotherhood, pride, legacy, and intergenerational shared values are palpable. Impressive multifaceted giving rosters which illuminate a loyal, active donor culture.

Stories were spot-on in terms of why alumni and others are giving back to Xavier. Really like the “Why I Give” snippets inserted throughout the lists pages. Overall quality of photography, layout, and writing was really impressive.
