This competition marks their first entry into a regional marketing contest. In addition to Voghel-Ochs, the department includes Tara Smith, graphic design specialist; Beth Coates public relations associate; Elizabeth Catuccio, assistant; Sylvia Green, database manager; Kristen Harris and Winsome Hamilton, both student assistants.
