Social Media team from ESPN College GameDay

In September 2016, Katie Hughes (Associate Editor, Social Media, ESPN) and Nick Rago (Producer, ESPN) stopped by to visit the ABSMCC prior to the Florida vs. Tennessee football game. ESPN College GameDay selected the University of Tennessee as its location to broadcast from during the second weekend in September. From this visit, Dr. Childers and two students from the ADVT/PBRL Social Media course were selected to go back stage during the College GameDay broadcast. It was a unique experience and one the students will never forget.
