If you see a policeman nestled atop the Krispy Kreme on Skidaway Road April 30 – May 2, don’t fear that the world has gone mad. Krispy Kreme Doughnuts and the Law Enforcement Torch Run are going to great heights to raise awareness and dollars for Special Olympics. Customers who donate money to the cause will get a sweet treat in return.
SCAD
SCAD’s advertising department has a few more trophies on its mantle. The team won the American Advertising Federation’s Seventh District National Student Advertising Competition (NSAC) for the second time in four years. The advertising team, also known as “Twelve,” advances to the national level competition in June. SCAD also swept the majority of the regional ADDY Awards, the world’s largest advertising competition.
Fourth-year illustration major Kelsey Garrity won third place in the Teatrio Cultural Association of Venice’s 16th International Competition of Illustration. SCAD students were among six of the 24 finalists, who came from around the world. Competitors created an illustrated story with no text using the technique of their choice. The theme of this year’s competition, “The Cannonball Lady,” was aimed at readers aged 14 years.
