Two Publications Win National Awards at WesternU
Two national awards were presented to publications at Western University
of Health Sciences. The American Association of Colleges of Osteopathic
Medicine (AACOM) presented the awards at the combined national conference
of the American Osteopathic Association convention in Orlando, Florida
last week.
Humanism, WesternU’s annual student produced magazine won first
place honors in the magazine category and the series of student
recruitment brochures won second place in its category. A total of 64
entries were submitted for judging in the 14 categories of the annual
communications competition. Osteopathic medical colleges around the
country enter the contest each year.
Rick Ha and Nathanael Cardon served as co-editors of Humanism
along with 18 students who wrote articles and poetry or contributed
photography and art for the feature magazine. The students are
volunteers and come from throughout the university. Michael Burney, PhD
and chair of the Health Sciences department served as the faculty advisor
of the publication. “”Giving Back”” was the theme for this years’ edition.
The recruitment brochures are produced by University Publications
for the Recruitment Department. The brochures are designed to provide an
introduction to each of the university’s degree programs in health care
for prospective students. Both publications were produced by University
Publications.
