Advertising graduate students and faculty members gathered together at a graduate social event on April 21 at Rigg’s brewery in Urbana, Illinois. The event was attended by over 40 students and faculty members who came together to celebrate their achievements over the past year.

The evening was filled with laughter, good food, and drinks as the attendees mingled and socialized with one another. The event was a great opportunity for the graduate students to connect with their professors outside of the classroom and for faculty members to interact with their students in a more casual setting.

“It was a wonderful event that brought everyone together,” said Lizi Ma, a graduate student in advertising. “It was great to be able to chat with my professors and classmates outside of the classroom.”

The event was organized by the Advertising department, wanting to create time for everyone to come together and enjoy each other’s company. It was a chance for the students and faculty members to take a break from their academic work and celebrate their accomplishments in a relaxed and enjoyable environment.

“I’m really proud of what our advertising graduate students have achieved this year,” said Michelle Nelson, professor of advertising and acting head of the department. “It’s great to see them come together to celebrate their success and support one another.”
