"The Creative University program was an opportunity for us as students to bring the real world back into the classroom. Textbooks aside, we were provided with a learning environment that we could create and be creative. And we had a great time - start to finish."
Sara Elizabeth Whelchel, UNC Creative University FALL 2010


"The experience provided by Creative U was unlike any other from. The challenge of creating an exciting campaign took the usual hum-drum work of hypothetical situations and accelerated it to an unimaginable level. Working with real people on a real campaign and producing real results is outstanding. I came up with tactics that Fox Sports Carolinas will be executing - what more could I ask for? Simply put, it was awesome."
Danna Klein, UNC Creative University FALL 2010


"The Creative U program is, in many ways, as close as advertising students can get to the real deal. The process of completing a full campaign and working side-by-side with the Fox Sports executives has been a valuable and unforgettable experience."
Alison Coppock, UNC Creative University FALL 2010


"This project was an incredible opportunity to work with a real-world client that took not only a interest in the completion of the project, but the students' personal development as well."
Anna Chase, UNC Creative University FALL 2010

In the past two years, five separate classes have participated in the Creative University program in The University of North Carolina School of Journalism and Mass Communication. This semester’s project brought together 28 forward-thinking students who were challenged with bringing greater awareness and participation to the newly-launched consumer website, foxsportscarolinas.com. The class developed and presented innovative concepts on how to brand and market the site, plus how to generate consumer-generated content using the latest in social media tactics and trends.
