AT&T REAL YELLOW PAGES HISPANIC DIRECTORY COVERS
MIAMI, Oct. 4, 2007 — The Freedom Tower at Miami Dade College’s Wolfson Campus, is featured on the cover of the 2007 – 2008 edition of the Miami-Dade AT&T Real Yellow Pages Hispanic Companion directory. The Hispanic Companion directory is a smaller, more portable, Spanish language version of the traditional print directory for Spanish-speaking residents throughout the Miami area. Delivery of the directory begins this week and continues for approximately four weeks. AT&T Advertising & Publishing estimates that more than 403,000 Hispanic Companion directories will be delivered to residents in Hispanic areas of Miami-Dade County.
“Our Hispanic business partners and neighbors make South Florida vibrant and exciting,” said Vince Petti, AT&T Real Yellow Pages regional vice president for advertising. “For the third year, we are offering the Hispanic Companion directory, the only publication of its kind in the market, to better meet the needs of Yellow Pages advertisers and consumers and connect buyers with sellers.”
AT&T Advertising & Publishing unveiled the Miami-Dade AT&T Real Yellow Pages Hispanic Companion directory cover Thursday, Oct. 4 on the fifth floor terrace of Building 3 at Miami Dade College’s Wolfson Campus, an area overlooking the Freedom Tower. MDC Wolfson Campus President Dr. Rolando Montoya and AT&T’s Vince Petti unveiled the cover before several employees from both organizations.
Miami Dade College is the nation’s largest institution of higher education with an enrollment of more than 165,000 students. It is also the nation’s top producer of associate of arts and associate of science degrees. The college’s eight campuses and outreach centers offer more than 200 distinct degree programs including several baccalaureate degrees in education, public safety management and nursing. MDC is also renowned for its rich cultural programming.
