Lawrence University
Lawrence University wanted to launch its current campaign with an authentic and moving event and wondered if it was possible without the cost of a professionally produced video and kickoff event. The solution was to use the talent and creativity of Lawrence University students to demonstrate the case for Lawrence.
Vice President Cal Husmann decided to plan the public announcement around Fall Festival, the annual fall celebration of the college that combines homecoming, parents weekend, and admissions visit day. Bentz
Whaley Flessner consultant Bruce Dreon suggested adding a competition to encourage student produced videos on the Lawrence experience. Approximately sixty students participated among fifteen teems who
prepared proposals and presented their concepts. Judges selected three proposals and provided student teams access to high quality video cameras editing equipment and spending account. The videos will premiere at the campaign kickoff event and the students who produce them will receive valuable experience and cash prizes.
What this approach lacks in professional polish is more than compensated for by the authentic and personal touch provided by Lawrences own students involvement. We believe will be an effective public launch that makes the case for Lawrence powerfully.
