Kansan advertising wins award for best staff

The Kansan advertising staff made sure the University had at least one championship to its name this spring by winning the award for Best Advertising Student Staff of the Year along with 10 other awards at the College Newspaper Business and Advertising Managers conference in Portland, Ore., last week. The award for best staff was selected based on the total number of points accumulated in the competition.

Lindsey Shirack, Kansan business manager, said the staff won four awards last year out of a possible 22. Schools are divided into two categories based on readership, with first through third awarded in each. An overall best in category winner is also chosen from those winners.

“It’s been a goal of a lot of people that have worked here to win this,” Shirack said.

Shirack said the staff last won the award in 2001, which was its third in four years. “When I first came here it was kind of expected that we would win it and then we didn’t for a few years,” she said. “To finally do that again is a huge accomplishment.”
