Your Expert Presenter:
Cindy Lawson is the Assistant to the Chancellor for Marketing and
Communications at the University of North Carolina Wilmington.

** Cindy served as the Vice President for Communications and Strategy
Development for the entire University of North Carolina system and led
public relations teams at Texas A&M University, the University of Arkansas
at Little Rock, the Culver Military Academy, and Eastern Michigan
University.

** Cindy handled the crisis communications during the 1999 bonfire tragedy at
Texas A&M University, in which 12 students died and 27 others were injured.
The way in which she handled the communications aspects of the tragedy
became the benchmark for crisis communication in higher education. CNN, CBS,
NBC and ABC reporters praised her for handling the crisis "as well or better
than the Tylenol crisis."

** Cindy has authored a crisis communications chapter for the book Campus
Crisis Management: A Comprehensive Guide to Planning, Prevention, Response,
and Recovery recently published by Jossey-Bass, and she has authored
Effective Crisis Communications, a set of instructional materials for the
National Response and Recovery Training Center.

** In addition to the many news and magazine articles written about Cindy?s
handling of the Bonfire crisis, several authors have written about her
crisis communications leadership in their books, including Kathleen Fearn-
Banks in the second edition of Crisis Communications, A Casebook Approach;
PRSA?s Strategies and Tactics; and Weathering the Storm by Christopher
Simpson.
