Ram Ramblings: Media seminar gives coaches some direction

WINSTON-SALEM, North Carolina  -- The idea of a media seminar was born after a conversation between Coach Bobby Collins of Winston-Salem State and Leslie Winbush, who is the director of the office of continuing education at WSSU.

While high-profile football and basketball coaches in Division I get plenty of opportunities to learn how to deal with the media, there isn’t much out there for everybody else.

That’s where the two-day “CPR for Coaches” seminar comes into play.

The seminar, which was held this afternoon in Winston-Salem and will continue on Saturday at the Sundance Plaza Hotel, was attended by close to 15 coaches and administrators from around the CIAA and the MEAC.

Running the seminar was Donna Oldham, a communications expert who has worked as the director of communications for Duke Hospital and has been the senior communications manager for Dell Inc.
