The blue carpet event kicked off with a welcome from Jaime Hunt, vice president of 大学通信. Hunt 分享d the inspiration behind “大学之旅,” explaining that Boylan created the show after his niece was unable to visit certain campuses during her college selection process.
“特别是在COVID-19大流行之后, it’s more important than ever to make higher education accessible to everyone,亨特说. “’大学之旅’ provides prospective students access to college campuses they otherwise might not see, and I am excited that ODU will now be introduced to a newer, 广泛的受众.”
Before the screening, Boylan introduced ODU’s episode via video.
