Feeding the Owls

Published on January 29, 2008 by The Sentinel

    On Monday, Owl Radio and Lady Owls basketball teamed up to promote the night’s game. 

    The radio broadcasted live from the campus green
while students were invited to enjoy free hamburgers and hotdogs. 
The radio offered items such as T-shirts, pens and restaurant coupons
to students who could answer trivia questions or who were willing to
speak live on Owl Radio.

    Ashlyn Remillard, sports director for the radio,
enjoys the promotional side of her job.  “At Owl Radio, we strive
to connect students with events and opportunities around campus,”
Ashlyn said.

    Owl Radio staff were not the only ones involved in
the event.  Players from the women’s basketball team showed up to
be interviewed and to mingle with students. 

    Sophomore guard Gia Lockett believes that events
like this promote student involvement in athletics.  “A lot of
people don’t know about the games.  This kind of stuff helps
people know,” said Lockett.

    Remillard also agrees that the events are
successful.  “The more people know about the basketball team and
the radio, the more likely they are to get involved in campus life.”
