NEW YORK, NY, December 1, 2010 - Healthy Monday (www.healthymonday.org), a non-profit that raises awareness about the importance of one’s health, has enlisted support from advertising and public relations students at The City College of New York to promote their anti smoking and diabetes free campaign.
Triumph Innovation Consulting (TIC) consists of seven junior Ad/PR executives, including Jorge Leger, Linda Perez, Ronald Pogyo, Kristina Henry, Ana Stanisic, Shakeima Cooks, and Laetitia Loco. All have been working very hard to find the best way to get the Harlem Community to change its behavior. This includes beginning the week off with a fresh start by eating healthy, or not smoking. It also urges students and residents to “Choose Monday” as the best day to get a healthy start.
TIC will hold their first Healthy Monday event December 6, 2010, 12 noon – 2 pm, at the CCNY's North Academic Center (NAC) Rotunda; 160 Convent Avenue at 138th Street. Participants will receive information and practical advice on how to avoid the deterioration of one’s health.
The agency will have guest speakers such as Ms. Eugenia Graham, a coordinator manager from Harlem Hospital's Quit Smoking program who will talk about the cons of smoking and how to successfully quit this addiction. A selection of healthy foods will be served to show how eating healthy is not difficult. There will also be prizes for students, faculty and staff with the most knowledge about diabetes and smoking issues.
“Triumph Innovation Consulting has completed detailed research on the Harlem community," according to Jorge Leger, CEO of TIC. "CCNY students have discovered people face certain struggles when it comes to eating healthy," he notes.
To assist with these personal health struggles, more than 55 schools, colleges and universities have joined the "Healthy Monday" campaign. TIC has developed an integrated public relations and advertising campaign to address smoking and diabetes, which afflict Harlemites in large numbers.
About Triumph Innovation Consulting:
TIC was formed as a part of the Advertising/PR Workshop at CCNY. The course objective is to create an advertising and PR campaign for the client that builds awareness for the Healthy Monday message. Each skilled team member has a great passion for the advertising and PR fields, coupled with an enormous desire and motivation to win the competition as a “real world” capstone to their college experience.
About Healthy Monday:
Healthy Monday is a non-profit public health organization founded in 2005 in association with Johns Hopkins University, Columbia University and Syracuse University. Their goal is to help Americans leverage Monday to end chronic preventable disease in the U.S. by offering people and organizations a weekly prompt to start and sustain healthy behaviors, intentions, action and initiatives. The organization works with “for-profit" businesses and non-profit organizations, with universities, churches and government agencies.

Subject: Video contest for NYC college and university students - January Deadline
Hi MCA,
I'm reaching out from NYVS, the premier online film school, to share news of a video contest open only to college and university students in New York City. In the "NY vs. NY: Favorite Places in NYC" contest, students are asked to create a short video telling an entertaining story about their favorite place in NYC.
To help students learn more about shooting, editing and storytelling, we are giving all participants a free subscription to NYVS.com for the duration of the contest. This is a great opportunity for students to gain resume building skills and to show off their video making talents, with the chance to win a professional grade still/video camera and gift certificates to support their video and filmmaking careers.
I've attached a contest flyer with basic information, but feel free to reach out to me with any additional questions ( Visit www.nyvs.com/nyvsny to see official contest rules).
As this is an amazing opportunity for NYC based students, we appreciate any help you can give in spreading the word for this contest.
Thanks!
Emi

The Ad/PR Lecture Series
James P. Othmer, Novelist
Former Creative Director
Y&R, New York
"Life on a Branded Planet"
The Search for Meaning ...
Thurs, Oct. 14, 2010
12 noon - 2 pm
#250 Shepard
Light refreshments will be served
Sponsored by the MCA Ad/PR Program and the AAF Club
James Othmer spent most of his working life in advertising, alternately enthralled by the high-octane energy and creativity the profession demands and plagued by doubts about the ultimate value of his chosen field.
In his book, Adland, Searching for the Meaning of Life on a Branded Planet, Othmer digs deep into what advertising means -- to the people who work in it, to the Internet gurus of the new "idea factories" who claim what they do isn't advertising at all, to the rest of us who consume it, relentlessly, every waking hour of the day, whether we want to or not.

BEYOND THE INFORMATION DEPARTMENT: Planning is about INSIGHT, not just information.
As Ewar Woowar blogger Nick Emmel says in the presentation, it is easy to get carried away with all of these resources in your hands and start churning out reams of deckage on any topic. Good planning is not about gathering every last shred of information. It is about selectively searching for the interesting bits and then turning that from information into insight. That's the magic of planning.

Prof. Michael Cramer Debuts Medieval Fantasy as Performance
This week marks the official publication of Medieval Fantasy as Performance: The Society for Creative Anachronism and the Current Middle Ages, by CCNY’s own Prof. Michael A. Cramer (Scarecrow Press, Inc. - Feb. 16, 2010).
In addition to teaching Intro to Media Studies at CCNY, he’s also a professor at Borough of Manhattan Community College. As per his Amazon.com author page:
Michael Cramer was born in Gold Beach, Oregon in 1964 (he often says that he was born in the great state of Jefferson), and grew up in Sacramento, where he attended Jonas Salk Middle School and Encina High. He concentrated on theatre and filmmaking, and was something of a failure at band. Dr. Cramer graduated with a Ph.D. in theatre studies from the City University of New York Graduate Center in 2005. He obtained his M.A. in Drama from San Francisco State University in 1996, and his B.A. from Cal State Sacramento in 1988. In his various lives he has been a car salesman, a shoe salesman, a personal trainer, a martial artist, an actor, a singer, a teacher, a project manager, a secretary (the man can't hold down a job), a knight, and an executive at a small media company in Brooklyn. While still in high school, Cramer joined the Society for Creative Anachronism, which provided material for several articles and for his book *Medieval Fantasy as Performance: The Society for Creative Anachronism and the Current Middle Ages*.
