William A. Nunnelley, director of public relations and senior editor at Samford University in Birmingham, received the 2013 President’s Award during an Aug. 28 university-wide convocation.
Nunnelley, who received two degrees from Samford, first joined the staff in 1964 and has served in a variety of public relations-related capacities, including sports information. In 1984, he developed and implemented the concepts for Seasons, the university’s quarterly news magazine, and has served as the publication’s only editor.
“I think the fact that this individual was the immediate and top choice of everyone on the selection committee in some small way affirms what is a lifetime achievement award,” said Samford’s Provost and Executive Vice President J. Bradley Creed.
Creed noted that Nunnelley had won numerous national awards for his work, including two major national awards in 2013 from the Religion Communicators Council.
