Athabasca University's student recruitment publications AU Viewbook and the Book of Answers have won the 2010 Association of Commonwealth Universities award for student publications. The award was presented at the ACU's annual conference in Melbourne, Australia. A bursary for travel to attend this award ceremony was provided by ACU.

"Heather Newton, Advancement's marketing manager, took a leap of faith in overseeing the creation of AU's hip and cutting-edge Viewbook - a bright orange little booklet bursting with information potential AU students are looking for," said Nancy Biamonte, director of Marketing and Communication." Heather's leap of faith paid off. We are absolutely thrilled to be honoured by the Association of Commonwealth Universities as winner in the student publications category for AU's Viewbook."
