CommuniCon
2025
During the Spring of 2025 I worked amongst a small campaign team to plan, design, and run an Augusta University Communication Department event called CommuniCon. Our team quickly landed on a Hollywood / cinema theme that we titled "Lights, Camera, CommuniCon!". Towards the end of a long semester of planning, budgeting, and designing the two day event, CommuniCon was ready to be run.
Day one of CommuniCon was welcome to all Augusta University students, so we set up in front of Maxwell Theater on the Summerville campus. We attracted a large crowd with our cook out food, blow up house, and upbeat music. Our department was able to inform a variety of students about the opportunities offered by setting up booths. Upon arrival, guests were welcomed with an offered bingo cards which could be exchanged for free food. These cards successfully enhanced booth engagement, and tracked popularity for future evaluation.
Day two of CommuniCon was geared toward students and faculty within the communication department. The event began with a game of trivia, performed by our very own Dr. Taylor Walker. Our team later served Mexican food to attendees, who listened in to our Oscar styled student and faculty awards ceremony. Raffle prizes were also awarded to guests towards the end of the event.
