Servant Leadership is a Beacon in Yandell's Professional Career

"It’s been 11 years since I studied servant leadership in grad school and it still is how I frame my workplace interactions." That's a recent quote from Bethany Yandell, Account Executive at Ackermann Marketing & PR in Knoxville, Tennessee. The "grad school" to which she refers is CSU's Turner College.  The program? The Turner College's master's degree program in servant leadership (MSOL). Long-time supporters of CSU's Turner College will remember Bethany, who worked as Recruitment Coordinator for the College from 2010 through 2013, just two years after earning an undergraduate degree in communications and public relations from the University of Tennessee. During her tenure in Student Services, she managed recruitment efforts for the undergraduate and graduate degree programs, planned events and managed projects for students and prospective students, and coordinated advertising efforts for Turner College degree programs and wrote content for the website. During this time Yandell also earned an MSOL degree, maintaining 4.0 GPA and being inducted into Phi Kappa Phi and Beta Gamma Sigma.
     After departing CSU, Bethany accepted an offer to become Retention and Recruitment Coordinator at Augusta University. During her time there, she coordinated recruitment and retention efforts for the College of Nursing, which offered two undergraduate programs and four graduate programs. This experience led to an opportunity to travel back to Knoxville to become Public Relations Coordinator for the University of Tennessee Medical Center. In this role Bethany's responsibilities involved internal communications to over 5,000 team members, coordination of the content and design of the Center's intranet, and development of the Center's social media strategy. After three years in this position, Bethany was promoted to Communications Coordinator for the Center's Cancer Institute. In this role she coordinated the Cancer Institute's communication efforts to include content, design and strategy for its website and social media. Her education, and this prior experience, earned Bethany the opportunity to move into her current role at Ackermann Marketing & PR. Turner Business congratulates Bethany on her professional success and is proud of her dedication to the servant leadership model.
