Communications and Marketing
The Communications and Marketing Department at the University of Tennessee Health Science Center publicizes university news and events, assists journalists, and serves as a liaison between reporters and university staff, faculty and students.
The team of communications professionals produces a variety of UTHSC publications and graphic designs, providing editorial support to colleges, departments and business units on all three campuses of the UTHSC system.
Winners at VOX Awards
On April 13, the UTHSC Communications and Marketing Department earned two Gold Award certificates (second place) at the Public Relations Society of America Memphis Chapter Annual VOX Awards. The department won for its Centennial Campaign in the category Marketing Communications/Promotions category. The second gold certificate was for the RxBio Press Release and subsequent media coverage in the Writing: Hard News/Breaking News category.
With more than 100 entries, there was much competition for this year's awards. Holden Potter, president of the Memphis Chapter of the Public Relations Society of America told the VOX attendees, "Each of you plays an important role in your institutions. You are all storytellers for your organizations. That makes you part of the fabric of a much larger story...the Mid-South story."
It is particularly gratifying to receive peer recognition for major projects like the Centennial Campaign, which required sustained creativity and team effort in order to achieve our organization's goals.
"Our team used strong collaborative skills to submit VOX entries that accurately reflected the scope of our work," said Sheila Champlin, director of Communications and Marketing at UTHSC. "It is particularly gratifying to receive peer recognition for major projects like the Centennial Campaign, which required sustained creativity and team effort in order to achieve our organization's goals."
This is the second major award competition the Communications and Marketing team has won in the past year. In November, they also won a Platinum and Gold MarCom award presented by the association of Marketing and Communication Professionals.
