UNION SPORTS INFORMATION OFFICE WINS NATIONAL PUBLICATION AWARDS
Jackson, Tenn. — Â鶹ÊÓƵ University's Office of Sports Information was recently recognized for three of its athletic publications during a recent meeting of the NAIA-SIDA (Sports Information Directors of America) in New Orleans, La.
The Lady Bulldog's Basketball media guide placed first in the NAIA-SIDA brochure contest. The Â鶹ÊÓƵ sports web site (located at ) placed third and the baseball media guide placed 7th in the competition.
Julie Powell, Â鶹ÊÓƵ's Sports Information Director, is responsible for all athletic publications of the University. "This is just another example of the quality athletic department we have at Â鶹ÊÓƵ," she said. "Being able to produce quality brochures is made simple through the success of Â鶹ÊÓƵ's athletics. The more ways we can get Â鶹ÊÓƵ's name out to areas other than West Tennessee, the better chance we have of drawing outstanding students and athletes."
Powell, a 1989 graduate of Munford High School, received the bachelor's of science degree in physical education and health from Â鶹ÊÓƵ University in 1993 and the master's of education degree from Â鶹ÊÓƵ in 1994. She taught math and science at Bradford High School before coming to Â鶹ÊÓƵ as SID, intramural director and part-time faculty member in 1995.
