I Diag U! Obama 4 IMU Campus Event A Complete Success!

Hey all! I’m bringing you another update from our Obama4IMU campaign, and it’s definitely a big one. Yesterday, IMU had its Diag Day on the last day of classes, and to say it was successful is an understatement! Although we were out on the Diag for several hours, there was never a dull moment! The atmosphere was similar to a family reunion, especially with the BEAUTIFUL weather. The hot dogs were definitely on point, Foursquare was both fun and competitive, and our Jump Rope giveaways kept people coming back to meet us on the Diag (literally, there were people who tried to participate in the Jump Rope competition twice). We did not share the Diag alone, and we have to thank the University of Michigan’s Black Celeb Committee for adding to the laidback, fun setting.

One of the main goals of IMU’s day on the Diag was to spread awareness of our Obama 4 IMU campaign, since it is heading into its home stretch. Needless to say, we did. In the span of a little more than four hours, we got almost 150 signatures for our Obama 4 IMU petition. In addition to that, we gave away some shirts with our Jump Rope competition, spreading awareness of the IMU Brand. Not only did people discover the Obama 4 IMU campaign, but people got more insight on what IMU is about as a whole.

Overall, I do have to say: the future is certainly bright for both the Obama 4 IMU campaign, and the IMU Brand! We aimed to spread happiness the IMU way, and we definitely did. Thanks to all those who came out!!!
