Women's History Month: Nancy Justis

When I took over as UNI Director of Sports Information in October of 1979, I had no idea I would remain in that job until my retirement in January of 2006. At the time of my promotion from the school's first full-time assistant SID began in 1976, I became just the sixth woman in the country to be the head of athletics communications at the collegiate level, and just the fourth female to be in charge of football, according to CoSIDA (College Sports Information Directors of America).
For those of you old enough to remember the ‘70s, think back to those times.
