Recently, President Hodge welcomed Worcester District Attorney Joseph D. Early Jr. recently to view a presentation by students in Communications Media Professor Kyle Moody's social media campaign class. The students spent the fall semester designing multimedia collateral for the Worcester County District Attorney’s public relations campaign to encourage safe driving for mobile phone users.
The experience was life-changing for the students and, according to District Attorney Joseph D. Early Jr., will also make an impact on members of the public who view their work.
“The work you did here is going to save lives,” Early told the students when he and members of his team recently visited the class to review their deliverables for the “Eyes Up Phones Down” campaign. “This is the best work we’ve had from a university for our campaign. It’s tremendous, and right to the point.”
President Hodge said she was also impressed by the caliber of the students’ work.
“I am amazed by the thoughtful and powerful collateral these students created in collaboration with Professor Moody and the clients from the District Attorney’s office,” Hodge said. “I am grateful to the District Attorney’s team for providing our students and faculty the opportunity to engage in such an important, hands-on experience.”
