• Joan Cronan Receives Joe Johnson Award
The University of Tennessee Press awarded the 2009 Joseph E. Johnson Award of Appreciation to Women’s Athletic Director Joan Cronan. The award is in recognition of Joan’s unflagging support of the press’s production of In the Footsteps of Champions: The University of Tennessee Lady Volunteers, The First Three Decades. Written by long-time Lady Vol supporter and UT staff member Debby Schriver, the book details the birth and growth of the premier women’s athletic program in the United States. The award was presented to Cronan by Dr. Johnson and UT Press director, Scot Danforth.
Afterward, Lady Vols who were spotlighted in Footsteps received a special salute in recognition of their accomplishments. More info on In the Footsteps of Champions at www.utpress.org/footsteps
