BLOOMINGTON, Ind. - Andy Graham, having long harbored a desire to serve his alma mater before concluding his lengthy career in journalism, feels both pleased and privileged to join Indiana Athletics' media relations department as a writer.
Graham, who recently retired from the Bloomington Herald-Times after 35 years covering sports and news, will write features for IU Athletics when the 2017-18 academic and athletic year commences in August. He will also mentor the department's student writers.
A 1978 IU graduate in honors history, Graham has won many national and state awards for his writing. He was the 1997 Corky Lamm Indiana Sportswriter of the Year honor and, more recently, was named the state's top sports columnist in 2012 by the Hoosier State Press Association and the nation's top sports columnist for the H-T's circulation class in 2013 by the Associated Press Sports Editors.
