Internship with U.S. Track and Field |
|
Ashland University sports information student assistant Andrea Adame (Jefferson, OH) has received a summer internship with the United States Track and Field Association (USATF) in Indianapolis. The internship, which begins June 1, will run for nine weeks. Adame will work in the organization’s public relations office. She will assist with daily written and oral communication to the media and the general public, assist with USATF publications, internet production and information distribution, write and distribute press releases and coordinate press department mailings. Adame, who will be a senior in the fall, has worked in the AU sports information office for three years. She has helped keep in-game statistics for football and basketball and has performed a wide range of office tasks. Adame has helped edit and write several media guides and has produced feature stories on student-athletes from most of AU’s 20 intercollegiate sports. She writes the Eagle Perspective series that appears on the Ashland University athletics website and also produces general press releases and hometown releases on student-athletes. In 2002 when AU hosted the 2002 NCAA Division II men’s and women’s cross country championships, Adame worked closely with a film crew from CBS Television that produced a piece for an NCAA Championships program. A sports communication/electronics media production major, Adame completed an internship last summer with the Class AA Akron Aeros. “Andrea has been invaluable to our operation at Ashland,” said AU assistant athletic director for media relations Al King. “She’s a goal-oriented young lady, a high-energy person with an incredibly bright future in sports journalism and athletic administration. The internship in Indianapolis is a well-deserved step forward for her and I have no doubt she’ll do well there.” Adame is the daughter of Tony and Becky Adame of Jefferson, OH. |
