I am very excited to present the extra footage on LakerTV from the Major Day video. This footage is from the Electronic Media Production class, taught by Assistant Professor Dennis Lebec. The students were working in groups to create product commercials. Enjoy!

TOMS - One Day Without Shoes

Hello everyone,

I mentioned a week ago that Mercyhurst participated in the annual TOMS "One Day Without Shoes." During that day, we did a Freeze Mob, organizing over 40 people to freeze in place for 10 minutes. I froze during that time, but recorded my view for the entire 10 minutes. Below I have embedded the video that I took, along with a brief interview from TOMS President, Adrianne LaGruth.

Andy Grammer, Jack's Mannequin & The Fray

Hello everyone,

What do all these bands have in common? They all played in Erie LAST NIGHT! What an awesome concert! I think every year Erie gets more and more musical talent. It's just exciting!

This week are remembering a 21 year old Gannon student who fell out of a window over the weekend and passed away. The Fray made a touching dedication, moment of silence and tribute to him at the concert last night.While in poor quality, I've embedded the video below.

These pictures are of Andy Grammer, Jack's Mannequin and The Fray, in that order.

Erie Zoo Project

Hello everyone,

My strategic communication group is conducting research of the Erie Zoological Society. If you have a moment, please take our survey, which can be found here.

For strategic communication, each group is given a client. We are doing research to understand the who, what, when, where and why's of consumer's buying habits of memberships. This will lead to a larger campaign, which the zoo can take and actually implement. 

Thank you for your help,
Joe

Happy Easter!

Hello everyone,

I just wanted to relay my belated Easter wishes. I hope everyone enjoyed some good family time with great food. As my Easter present, I now present to you the Comm. Department video that was presented during Major Day two weeks ago. I have started putting together the spare footage, but that may take me some time. I'll get it to you soon. In the meantime, here is the video!

End of Mercy Month / Major Day Weekend

Hello everyone,

This weekend was many things, the end of Mercy Month AND Major Day weekend, the accumulation of both leaves a great sigh of relief.

Mercy Month celebrates the heritage of the Sisters of Mercy, our founding order, and everything that they still do today. During March, I had an opportunity to visit the sisters at the motherhouse, located on the South side of campus, and hear all of their stories and see their traditions. Below is a picture of our Ambassador group that went and visited and the three sisters that gave us the wonderful tour. It's nice to return to your origins, it makes you appreciate the present.

Also this weekend was Major Day and the Laker Live-In. If you were able to make it, GREAT! I hope everything went well. If you have any additional questions, please let me know. If you didn't make, no problem. You still have time, in fact I have a tour in an hour.

I personally spent a lot of time in the last week preparing for this event, which was presented during the Walker School of Business presentation with the Communication Department video. If you didn't make it, stop back in a few days and I'll get it posted up here once it goes up on YouTube. Also, as promised, I will be throwing up all of my additional footage for your viewing pleasure.

Have a great week!
