On April 15, 2010 the Tennessee Tech University Athletic Department welcomed Kate Nicewicz of Sauquoit, New York to the Golden Eagle staff as a 2010-2011 Sports Information Intern.  Nicewicz graduated from the University of Rochester in May of 2009 with her Bachelors degree in Communications and Marketing.

At Rochester, Nicewicz participated in JV and Varsity soccer and worked as an assistant in the Sports Information office, where she regularly contributed content for use on the university’s website and athletic publications.  She also assisted in providing live stats and game coverage for a number of university sports.

While obtaining her B.A. in Communications, Nicewicz participated in an internship with MCLA the Lax Mag beginning in January of 2008. Nicewicz was exposed to all aspects of the production and editing of a new publication, and contributed nationally published content in the form of feature articles, team and player profiles, and game recaps for issues throughout 2008 and 2009.  In May of 2008, she traveled to Dallas, Texas to provide live coverage for the 2008 Men’s Collegiate Lacrosse Association (MCLA) National Tournament.  She also served as the primary contact for a regular section of the magazine featuring information about different teams’ hometowns.  Nicewicz has worked with the magazine, which is devoted to the promotion of the Men’s Collegiate Lacrosse Association, since its inception in 2008 and stretched her required six-month internship through the 2009 season.

Nicewicz also acted as a Senior Writer for the sports section of the Campus Times, UR’s campus-wide newspaper.

At Tennessee Tech, Nicewicz will handle several aspects of media relations for the athletic department, including the production of publications, press releases and human-interest articles.  She will provide game coverage and live stats and serve as the primary contact for soccer, men’s basketball, and baseball for the remainder of the spring 2010 season and through spring of 2011.
