And to all a good night.

There will be plenty of time to sleep in next week. This Saturday (Dec. 20), I'm scoring this sweet swag from Personal Best Racing at the 12Ks of Christmas and Reindeer Relay. I really had fun designing this to make mini-medal replicas of the race tees. There's still time to sign up!

Today we hosted our first Patdome wedding celebration! Our good friends Amy & Ed got married this morning, and we were delighted to gather with friends and family to raise a glass to the happy couple. Congratulations!

We're always exited to add new colors to our university collection when we attend the NACAC annual conference for college admissions counseling. Stop by and see us at Booth 1530 if you're here!

When the race is literally starting on Phillip Fulmer Parkway, this shirt/medal/hat combo was begging for a color tweak. Almost makes me want to sign up the Wi******er Lakeside Triathlon from for the swag.

Ever wondered about what an Austrian economist and promotional products have in common? Thank you to University of Tennessee College of Arts & Sciences for covering Patdome's road from the 2006 Final Four to Rocky Top.

Usually we're making the awards for the other rock star winners at these events. Thank you so much to UT College of Communication & Information for making the trip out to Patdome Promotions HQ to chat with me about the Rocky Top Business Awards. I'm proud to share my story and thank my PR colleagues and professors for their invaluable influence.

Big congratulations to CCI alum Tanya Ickowitz and her company, Patdome Promotions, for being named one of the 2025 Rocky Top Business Award winners!

Ickowitz co-founded Patdome Promotions with her husband, Mike (also a UT alum), to offer personalized, creative promotional products that help schools and brands stand out. The company reflects their shared love for higher education and the Volunteer spirit.

Ickowitz credits her graduate experience at CCI in the Tombras School of Advertising & Public Relations with shaping her skills in research, analysis, and persuasive communication, tools she still relies on today.

20 years? Gulp. Thanks Buzz - we really enjoyed revisiting the story.

If you were given George Mason University branded gear of any sort since 2006—from hoodies and tees to Hawaiian shirts and bucket hats—chances are good that Mike Ickowitz, BA Communication ’03, had something to do with creating it.

The Springbrook Splash 5k & 10k is this Saturday. I'm not sure if I'm more excited about the new finisher medals and bucket hats, seeing so many friends volunteer and participate, or getting to slide into the pool at the finish line. See you there!

Best of luck to everyone competing in the 21st annual John Chavis Golf Tournament benefiting Tennessee Children's Home! We're so glad the weather seems to be cooperating for a beautiful day on the greens.
