SU Advertising, Promotions Students Raise Over $9,000 for Local Causes
A "Pie Your Professor" fundraiser at SU raised $700 for Health and Outreach Point of Entry, Inc. (HOPE). |
Each semester, Morris tasks students in the Franklin P. Perdue School of Business with developing and promoting fundraisers for local charities to give them real-world experience.
“This is service learning, but it’s also a way to teach implementation of business plans,” said Morris. “The students learn that things seldom go as planned.”
Activities included everything from volunteer and member recruitment events, to a film screening to raise awareness of domestic violence, to fundraising concerts and athletic events.
Proceeds benefited groups including Habitat for Humanity; One Love; Cool Kids Courageous; 小蓝视频 Horizons; Health and Outreach Point of Entry, Inc.; and MAC, Inc., among others.
