About College Sports Communicators Membership Appreciation Week
The eighth annual College Sports Communicators Membership Appreciation Week, presented by ESPN, will be celebrated Nov. 8-14. Celebrate with us on social media using the hashtag #CelebrateCSC, and consider ways to show appreciation in person as well.
CSC Membership Appreciation Week is an opportunity for those who interact with college sports communications and creative professionals to observe and celebrate the impact that athletics communicators have on intercollegiate athletics. The week was created to show appreciation for athletic communicators and creatives within the CSC membership and to showcase their efforts and accomplishments. The celebration brings positive recognition to CSC members and their work promoting student-athletes and their institutions/conferences throughout all levels of intercollegiate athletics.
Athletic departments, campus communications offices, media, current and former student-athletes, coaches organizations and other groups are encouraged to recognize their athletics communications staff members during this special week. Recommendations and ideas on how to do so are included in the media kit linked below.
This year’s celebration will feature the following:
- Content focusing on the value of of CSC members and the communications and creative professions.
- Outreach to athletic departments, campus communications offices, conferences offices, related professional organizations and student-athletes
- National media integrations
- A social media campaign again centered on the hashtag #CelebrateCSC.
A note to CSC members: This is a week for the college athletics community to celebrate you and the important work you do. It’s also a week to shine a positive light on our profession and the value College Sports Communicators brings to college sports overall. You’re encouraged to celebrate the week by sharing what you love about what you do and shining that light on your mentors, colleagues, students and others.
