This past year I was given the chance to work with a group of upper classmen in a state-sponsor social campaign competition. Our task was to create a full blown social campaign in attempt to fight violent extremism. With much research, many surveys, and many late nights of brainstorming, our team created our campain, Challenge the Truth. We felt that the first step to building a strong force against violent extremism was education, especially when considering the false or exaggerated claims made by the media. The leader of the team presented our campaign in D.C., and we ended up receiving honorable mention. The experience not only provided me with great design practice, but it also gave amazing insight into social media research and marketing.
