This campaign has 3 parts, the Tumblr marketing, the presentations, and finally the bands. With the Tumblr marketing, individuals post a photo of themselves with a sign that explains a situation that they have seen, or been in and shines the light on it. With the presentations, we will have professor presenters that speak upon topics such as racism and civil biases for students to listen to and interact with. Finally, there will be rubber wrist bands given out to students. A wearer of this band is volunteering themselves to have a conversation "about their band", which is essentially telling their story. This campaign is being executed this March-April of 2015. Examples of the marketing can be seen at Shineonoz.tumblr.com Show less
