From: UT Campus Communicators [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Mayfield, Jay Sent: Monday, April 23, 2007 9:26 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [CAMPCOMM] From the Office of Media Relations Greetings! Commencement season has arrived, and as we have done over the past few semesters, we're asking you to send along any stories of graduates who have overcome distinctive obstacles or left indelible marks on UT during their time here. The media is often quite responsive to these stories, which allow us to add other facets to their coverage of the event. Please pass story ideas along with any relevant contact information, and we will keep you posted on any progress. Also, the close of the academic year brings the announcement of awards from professional organizations. Each year, UT is fortunate to have a number of its faculty win "lifetime achievement"-type awards that honor their work and service over the course of their career. In order to recognize faculty who win these prestigious, lifetime awards, we're planning a special Web feature to draw attention to these honors. If you have any faculty members in your area who have won a lifetime or career-based award, please pass along that information, and we'll add it to the feature, so that all of our faculty who are so honored can be recognized. If you have information on either graduation stories or lifetime achievement awards for faculty, please send it to [log in to unmask] Finally, please note that there is currently an opening available in our Office of Media Relations for any interested applicants - the job description and appropriate contact information is below: INFORMATION SPECIALIST I-Media Relations- Pay Grade 39, $27,435-$37,689, Bachelor's degree in communications, marketing or public relations required.
