PEOPLE - awards and achievements of faculty and staff 
April 12, 2000 -- Several University media and publications professionals were recognized in the Council for the Advancement and Support of Education's annual District III Advancement Awards competition. The honors were presented in late February in Atlanta. Senior news officer Ida Lee Wootten received the grand award in the media relations project category for her entry, which detailed how U.Va.'s News Services Office and an external public relations firm raised awareness of the dangers of meningococcal meningitis among college students and the availability of an effective vaccine that protects against the disease. The School of Nursing's alumni magazine, The Virginia Legacy, was selected as a special merit award recipient in the external newsletters program category. The University's annual "President's Report," published by the University Publications Office, received an award of excellence in the Annual Reports II category. The Law School Publications Office's Information and Application Book for 1999-2000 received a special merit award in the student recruitment category. University Health System Development received an award of excellence in the educational fund-raising project category for "What's Next: Medicine and You in the New Millenium." The University Development Office received two awards of excellence. The Historic Gardens and Grounds case statement (designed by Julie Wheeler and written by Bill Sublette, Mary Hughes and Heather Thomas) was honored in the fund-raising publications category, and the e-summit@virginia.edu materials (designed by Leslie Doughty and produced jointly with the University Relations Office) were honored in the direct mail category. The College of Arts & Sciences received a special merit award in the direct mail category for its annual fund solicitation package, written and designed by Amy Balser Blumenthal and Lori Cwalina of the Arts & Sciences Development Office and Marsha Vayvada of Folio Design, and photographed by Tom Cogill. |
