    Broke the Dodgeball World Record
    I came up with the theme for the posters used in the event, playing off of the idea about "Making History." I have attached a picture of the flyer along with clips from local news stations that covered the event and RIT's coverage of the event. It was exciting to combine the knowledge that I gained from college and a hobby which ultimately spiraled into a community event.
