A Break Well Deserved
It's Fall Break for Clemson, so the students are all taking a few days off to relax and recoup. I wanted to take this moment to thank them for their hard work and dedication to this class. Homecoming was a great success; Chick-Fil-A, while not as big of an event as we had hoped, brought in money and attendance that pleased Safe Harbor; and the plans for a campus education event on Oct. 25 are coming together wonderfully. It has been so exciting to watch the class come up with their own projects and execute them with professionalism and passion. Thanks for a great first half of the semester, and I'm really looking forward to seeing what we all will accomplish next.

Group Projects
Last week, the class broke into groups to accomplish a variety of projects. They are:
1. Campus promotions centered around Clemson Homecoming festivities (Oct. 8)
2. An on-campus education event (likely a guest speaker, co-hosted with other organizations)
3. A fundraising event linked with a restaurant in Easley (bringing more awareness to Pickens County during October, which is Domestic Violence Awareness Month)
4. Assisting with the rebranding and social media/outreach plans for R.E.P. (the new name for Megan's Project, Safe Harbor's education program for high school students)
The entire class will also be working together to promote a fundraising event at Clemson's Chick-fil-Al on Wednesday, Oct. 5. Please visit Chick-fil-A between 5 and 9pm, tell them you're there to support Safe Harbor, and 10% of the proceeds will go to Safe Harbor. If more than 100 people attend, then proceeds increase to 20% of sales. The class will be spreading this message throughout Clemson this week.
