Community Engagement

Description of the video:

My name is Lane Wolf. I graduated in 2020 with a degree in Media and a concentration in Advertising and a specialization in Public Relations. 

My junior year I worked at the Indianapolis Neighborhood Resource Center in my PR Campaigns class. The class met twice a week for 16 weeks. We worked with a representative from the non-profit in Indy. They would come down and we helped do a complete web redesign as well as a PR campaign for the organization to help them get their name out, not only in the community, but also to generate more donors and create more funds that way.

And then my senior year, I worked with the Greene County Tourism Commission in my PR research class. Where, for another 16 weeks, I worked directly with this commission in a county next door to Bloomington to increase visitorship and funding for rural tourism in the county. 

During undergrad, I wasn't going to be able to volunteer nearly as much as I wanted to coming to college. That was something I got to do a lot of in high school, but due to my work schedule and my class schedule and then also extra-curriculars, I just didn't have the opportunity to volunteer as much as I wanted to and it was really nice to be able to then be in classes where I got to volunteer and have that philanthropic moment as well as be using my degree.
