During the Summer 2021 semester, students in the COMM 3421: Social Media Strategies class were part of the winning team that created and proposed a social media campaign for the Turner center, the digital hub of Lowndes county arts, for their social media class. The Annette Howell Turner Center for the Arts is a premier regional arts center located in downtown Valdosta, Georgia, offering a wide variety of art experiences to Valdosta, Lowndes, and surrounding Georgia and North Florida counties. The Turner Center leadership requests the VSU Social Media students to ideate social media strategies for regularly occurring events that will meet the goals of (1) increasing awareness of the events and (2) attracting a younger audience.

There were 3 teams that presented proposals to the Turner centers Sementha Mathews Executive Director and Rebecca Gallagher PR and Marketing Administrator.
