Turner College Grad Bethany Yandell Flourishing in New Professional Post

Turner College alum Bethany Yandell's career in higher education has taken her to some great places and allowed her to meet some interesting people. Currently the Director of Communications and Marketing for the College of Communication and Information at the University of Tennessee, Yandel recently described the past year in this position in her own words: "One year ago I took a leap and landed at UT with the opportunity to work for the college that launched my career 18 years ago. No matter how many times you’ve done it, starting a new job is hard, but it also brings new opportunities, new friends, and confidence. I am filled with so much gratitude for all the growth this past year brought (and grateful to be on the other side of it!) and can’t wait to see what year two brings. I have a feeling it will be one for the books!" A 2012 graduate of the Turner College's MSOL program, Yandell served as the Turner College's Recruitment Coordinator from 2010 to 2013. From there she journeyed to Augusta University, where she served from 2013 to 2104 as the Retention and Recruitment Coordinator for the College of Nursing. Yandell then spent the next eight years as Public Relations and Communications Coordinator in the University of Tennessee Medical Center. After a three-year stint as an account executive in the private sector with Ackermann Marketing & PR, she returned to the University of Tennessee for her current position. Turner Business celebrates Bethany's success and wishes her well going forward.
