help bring new ideas to our company through their talents and we can teach them about creative firm life.”
According to a press release from Brittany Crockett – Social Media & Online Content – Adelsberger Marketing, Kadence Washam, from Brighton, TN, will be graduating from Evangel University in Springfield, Missouri, in December 2024 with a degree in Strategic Communication: Advertising, Public Relations, and Promotion.
Kadence is a recurring face on Evangel’s TV station serving as producer and sports anchor. She is also the Editor in Chief of Evangel’s magazine publication “The Excalibur Magazine”, writes regularly for the school newspaper, “The Lance”, and hosts a show on Evangel’s radio station KECC.
