During PhilADthropy, School of Communication students work with local nonprofits to develop and deliver advertising and other promotional materials.
Hosted by the School’s Advertising program and student AD Group, and guided by faculty member Meryl Blau, PhilADthropy completes its services during a work marathon beginning at 11 a.m. Friday, Feb. 17, and ending at noon Saturday, Feb. 18. Final projects are presented to the organizations during a reception at the close of the 25th hour. *The deadline to apply is Jan. 27, 2012.
“We urge organizations to start their applications as soon as possible at the PhilADthropy website,” says Blau. “Demand tends to be heavy, so we must consider each application carefully.”
