Bio

A background in journalism and a love of sports led Candice Kelm to join the McLennan Athletic department as Sports Information Specialist in 2006.

Kelm is an active member of College Sports Communicators (CSC) and a member of the Advocacy and Academic All-America® (AAA) Core committees. In 2018, she became the national coordinator for the College Division of the AAA program which includes two-year, Canadian and other schools not competing under the NCAA or NAIA umbrella, and she continues to serve in that position. She is a founding member of 2ySIDA, the association for sports information directors of two-year colleges, and serves as treasurer. She is also a member of the NJCAA’s PrestoSports Advisory Committee.

In addition to her duties within the athletic department, Kelm lends her talents to the Marketing & Communications department. She is a member of the Holiday Open House Committee, the MCC Foundation’s Golf Tournament Committee, and previously served on the Administrative Advisory Committee and Communications Committee.

Before coming to McLennan, Kelm spent three years teaching journalism and business at her alma mater, La Vega High School, where she also served as newspaper, yearbook and student council sponsor.

After graduating from La Vega in 1997, Kelm attended McLennan for two years before transferring to Baylor University. She graduated from Baylor in 2002 with a bachelor’s degree in education with an emphasis in journalism and business.
