The largest advertisements I see around campus (my neighborhood)
are from the large university screen at the main entrance to the campus, just
south of the Lawlor Events Center. The screen advertises upcoming events on
campus, as well as for Kaplan University. I find the advertisements for Kaplan
University odd, because one university is advertising another.
I see
advertisements and flyers posted everywhere on campus, letting people know
about numerous club meetings, special events, as well as advertising special
pricing for college students for things from food to ski passes. The
advertisements for free or reduced priced items get lots of attention, as a lot
of students are on the “poor college student” budget. The notices for the
upcoming home football game is always present, especially on the big screen
just south of Lawlor.
There is definitely more advertising for the more popular
sports teams than the less popular ones. This is unfortunate, because we should
be advertising for all of our sports teams equally. Having participated in less
popular sports in high school, I wish the less popular sports got a little bit
more recognition. But I also realize that advertising for just the few really
popular sports easily draws a large crowd, instead of advertising for a bunch
of teams only to reach a few people each. I do agree with the advertisements
for events on campus because I love being part of the active community so I
appreciate being in the know. I also love learning about free stuff, I mean,
who doesn’t?
