Ohio University Today joined the growing list of award winners in the campus' University News Services and Periodicals office this spring. The alumni tabloid, which is sent free to 122,000 alumni three times a year, won an Award of Merit for publication design in the newspaper/newletter category of the Bronze Quill competition sponsored by the Internation Association of Buisness Communicators' chapter in Columbus.
The award was based on issues published in calendar year 1997. Ohio University Today is designed by Carolyn King, a free-lancer who lives in Guysville in Athens County.
Bryan McNulty, executive director of news services and assistant vice president for university relations, also won an Award of Merit in the same competition. His award was for a story he wrote on the atomic bomb debate in the spring/summer 1997 issue of Perspectives, the university's new color magazine detailing research and scholarly activity.
Perspectives won two national awards in the Circle of Excellence contest sponsored by the Council for Advancement in Support of Education (CASE). The magazine won a bronze medal in the special constituency magazine category, and a five-story package that appeared in Perspectives won a silver medal in the periodical staff writing category.
