She may be the newbie on the SJMC Faculty, but Sandy Henry is a familiar face in Meredith Hall.  For nearly 12 years, she was the TV/Multimedia Producer in Drake's TeleMedia Center, where she wrote and produced projects for every medium imaginable.  Prior to that, she was a creative for a Des Moines-based advertising agency - she'd name the agency, but its name has changed almost as many times as the name of the bank down the road.  Her clients covered the spectrum, from a major grocery store chain, to a non-profit arts organization, to one of the world's largest agricultural seed companies.  Sandy has won many awards for her work, including Addys, Tellys, and CASE Awards.  But, to date, her most memorable project was a campaign for a national feed company, involving additives given to pregnant hogs to "aid" their digestion and elimination.  Needless to say, the campaign didn't stink, but researching the subject matter was a fragrant affair.

Henry received her B.A. in Journalism and Mass Communication from Drake, and a Master of Science in Mass Communication from Miami University - the one in Ohio, not in Florida.  Did you know Miami (OH) was founded long before Miami (FL)?  More than 100 years before the Hurricanes, as a matter of fact.  (Be the first to raise your hand in class with that tidbit and you'll get extra credit.)

Sandy is an Apple Certified Trainer (Final Cut Pro) and is active with the Broadcast Education Association and the Iowa Association of Communication Technology.  In her spare time, she enjoys running, music, hack gardening, and the NFL, when in season.
