10.9.09 | General
PHILADELPHIA - Pennsylvania native Kelli Sheesley, who spent the last five years as the Director of Publications at the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis, Md., has returned to her home state to become Assistant Athletic Director for Publications at Temple University, announced Associate Athletic Director for Communications Larry Dougherty.
Sheesley, who grew up in Beavertown, Pa., will administer the day-to-day operations of the publications process at Temple, while also serving as the media contact for men's and women's tennis, and softball.
“Kelli is one of the top publication experts at the college level and we are fortunate to be able to add her expertise to the Temple Athletic Communications staff,” Dougherty said.
While at Navy, Sheesley was responsible for the design and layout of materials for 31 varsity sport programs, while working closely with the marketing and promotions department, as well as Navy's booster program, the Blue & Gold Club. Her publications have been cited 19 times in the last four years by CoSIDA in district or national contests. In 2008-09, three of her media guide covers received "Best in the Nation" awards while her 2008 Navy sprint football media guide and 2009 men's lacrosse media guide were ranked first nationally.
“I am thankful for the opportunity to work with such a tremendous athletics staff at the Naval Academy, and am excited to begin a new chapter in my career at Temple University,” Sheesley said.
Prior to her work at Navy, Sheesley spent six years at Bucknell University as Assistant Director of Athletic Communications. She was the primary contact for 11 varsity sports, including the 2002 women's basketball team that advanced to the program's first-ever NCAA Tournament. In addition, Sheesley had the assignment of website coordinator, acting as the point of contact for a site overhaul on the BucknellBison.com website. She was awarded the “OAS Excellence Award” from FansOnly (now CBS College Sports) in 2003 for her work on the site.
Sheesley is a graduate of Juniata College ('98), where she was a four-year letterwinner in softball and was the team's MVP her senior season.
