Our Work
2022-2023 School Year
Featured are flyers made by the CO agency during the 2022-2023 school year that helped create awareness for different issues/causes that agency members wanted to highlight and advocate for.
One Winter Night
Created by the CO agency, this video was done for the organization on campus dedicated to those with no homes, CU at Home.
During the coldest night in the winter, several individuals are typically homeless and continue to stay on the streets in the city of Champaign. CU at Home dedicates themselves to promoting and raising awareness about the social issue, and CO took the opportunity to create a video and interview those who came from miles away to support the cause.
Trivia Night Flyer
The Trivia Night Flyer is made in order to advertise our semesterly fundraiser, typically done in order to help any given client. During the fall semester, Community Outreach dedicated ourselves to gathering students to come out to Murphy’s Pub and play trivia, collecting an admissions fee with all proceeds going towards CU at Home - a homeless shelter located in Champaign, Urbana.
Counseling Center
Members got the opportunity to service the Counseling Center and learn about research, branding, and social media promotion for mental health awareness related events. These are two examples of Instagram stories designed and created by members for events sponsored by the Counseling Center.
Building Service Workers
CO aims to create work in the community that matters. Members worked on a semester long appreciation campaign for the Building Service Workers who keep the campus up and running. The campaign consisted of research, awareness, and implementing actions to let BSWs know that U of I students are thankful for everything they do.
