“Just looking at the array of awards we earned says a lot about the diverse talents of our division,” said Lawrence J. Burns, UT vice president for external affairs and interim vice president for equity and diversity. “The trend toward interactive communications challenges us to explore new and innovative methods of getting the word out. Every member of our team continues to push the envelope of creativity with award-winning results.”

The Crystal Awards, sponsored by the Toledo chapter of the Association for Women in Communication, honor communications professionals in northwest Ohio and southeast Michigan for excellence in advertising, collateral materials, design, digital media, industry self-promotion, photography, public relations, TV/radio, and writing for news or public relations.
