The Kansas Wesleyan Marketing and Communications Office captured a pair of Communicator Awards, which are respected national honors, earlier this month. KWU won Awards of Excellence, the organizationâs top-level honor, for feature articles written about Judge Angela Coble â94 and Dr. Stefanie Milam â02.
âOur team continues to do great work,â said Brad Salois, director of marketing and communications. âThese stories are reflective of our storytelling ability, an ability honed not only by years of experience, but by a conscious choice to dig into the âwhyâ of the KWU experience and share the results. This decision has driven much of what weâve done for the past three years, and weâre grateful that choice has been honored with these awards.â
Jean Kozubowski, current assistant director of marketing and communications, penned the Coble article for the Fall 2022 Contact magazine, while former Associate Coordinator Karen Bonar wrote the story on Milam for the Spring 2022 edition. It is far from the first major recognition for Kozubowski, who has earned multiple statewide awards for writing and design, as well as a top-10 newspaper front page distinction nationally. Kozubowski was a desk editor and reporter for area newspapers, including the Hutchinson News and Salina Journal, for several years before joining Kansas Wesleyan.
Some of the other universities to win Awards of Excellence this year include Michigan State, George Mason, Florida, North Texas and New Mexico.
The awards mark the 10th and 11th major honors, nine of which have been national recognitions, for KWUâs MARCOM staff since May 2020.
