Create-A-Thon

Second Story Media Services hosted the first Create-A-Thon since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. During this event, five student teams provided advertising services to Blue Ridge Women in Agriculture, Wildwood Agile Learning Community, Healthy Heart Collaborative, Daniel Boone Native Gardens and Life Village. The event was full of creativity and excitement, with much needed coffee breaks, raffles for fun prizes and yoga sessions scattered throughout the marathon. For the inside scoop on this event, read the following article from The Appalachian.
