PR Date with Gus

A couple Fridays ago, Stephanie and I had the chance to hop onto Gus and take a ride
around campus for some Golf Cart PR. Armed with free t-shirts and frisbees, we decided to
hit campus around lunch time, hoping that students would be out and about, excited for the
coming weekend. Our first stop was the Brackett Hall area, where we experienced quite a few
students walking to class. We quickly yelled to them as we passed, spouting out the information
for that night’s movie and contra dancing events. After that, we made sure to hit Schilleter,
Hendrix, Harcombe, Fike, and other parts of campus that would allow us to reach many students
at a time. While we were PR-ing, our goal was to hand out free shirts to people that were seen
wearing CLEMSONLiVE shirts already. However, as we were driving around, we had trouble
finding students wearing CLiVE gear. Perhaps they were too excited for Solid Orange Friday
and decided to wear “Beat (Insert Team Name Here)” shirts instead? Despite the lack of CLiVE
pride, we made sure the students knew about our events, as we whizzed by them on the golf cart,
handing out free frisbees along the way. Overall, PR-ing on the golf cart was fun and worthwhile
– not only did we get the word out about free entertainment on campus, but we were able to
interact directly with the students in doing so. The only issue that I realized after our time PR-ing
was that a lot of students might not have come to campus that day due to a classes-free Friday.
Regardless, it was a great experience, and we can’t wait to take Gus out again sometime soon!
