USC won 14 awards at the American Advertising Awards competition on Feb. 22. The event was part of the American Advertising Federation’s annual competition, the largest of its type in the world.
More than 50 awards were presented to advertising students and professionals in the Midlands in order to recognize exceptional work.
For the first time, USC won a Student Best of Show Addy Award for Lauren Leadmon’s infographic in Garnet & Black Magazine entitled “The Low Down on Hooking Up in College.”
Leadmon, who graduated in May with a degree in marketing, was unaware that USC had even submitted the graphic until she received an email informing her that she had won.
“I was very surprised, actually, and very honored, of course,” Leadmon said. “I’m excited to see what it will do [at the next level].”
Edgar Santana, creative director of Student Media, described the infographic as “eye-catching” and describing a topic that “demanded interest.”
“It’s a great piece of art and it really stood out,” Santana said. “It had all the elements judges look for.”
In order to create the award-winning design, Leadmon found statistics and research for the infographic that she found interesting and relevant to the student body, and then sketched out the plan for the piece.
“I really enjoy doing infographics and that kind of design,” Leadmon said.
Leadmon is now working for Sunshine Sachs as well as continuing design work on a small scale.
“It’s exciting to be recognized. I enjoyed working for Garnet & Black and it’s just thrilling that it came around.” Leadmon said. “It’s exciting to be recognized where I came from and gives me some momentum for my career.”

Sodexo dining has received their fall 2013 customer satisfaction results, which yielded an overall satisfaction score of 95 percent, while the education market as a whole was at 75 percent overall satisfaction.
One way Sodexo is working to maintain or even improve these ratings is through offering more options through Mein Bowl, which was suggested by the Student Advisory Board for Sodexo.
In order to potentially improve customer satisfaction, Mein Bowl is offering a series of limited time offers throughout the spring 2014 semester, including Japanese Chicken Curry and “Snack ‘n Roll.”
“[The Sodexo Board] tries to appeal to a lot of customers, and let them try some new things,” said George Chong, the manager of Mein Bowl.
Sodexo has been working to reevaluate what is offered on the menu and the cooking process at the Asian cuisine restaurant to make sure they are meeting Sodexo standards. This fine-tuning is part of their constant efforts to better their operations.
Russell House and Sodexo employees generally say that they are successful at keeping student satisfaction high.
“I’ve been down here in the Grand Market Place for almost two years, and I certainly haven’t had any students coming to me unhappy about Mein Bowl or anything else,” said John Brasington, general manager of the Grand Market Place at Russell House.
