GREENWOOD, Ind. (6/19/2019) -- The University of Detroit Mercy Department of Athletics was recognized nationally in the College Sports Information Director's of America (CoSIDA) Publications & Design Contest, claiming two honors among Division I programs from across the country for poster design and infographics during the 2018-19 school year.
It's the second-straight year the Titans have been honored in the contest.
James Tinkey, an Assistant Director of Athletic Communications & Graphic Design, received two, third-place awards for his design work in the CoSIDA national contest. Tinkey earned a third place laurel for his men's soccer poster in the "Fall Posters -- University" category as well as a third place in the "Infographic Athlete -- University" category for his design work on an
