Recreating the Mini 500 in June

Doug trains on the treadmillCoordinating four days of shooting, student extras, props, and assembling tricycles was no easy task, especially since we re-created the Mini 500 on a hot June Saturday afternoon. Nevertheless, it was an exciting experience to try to bring so many aspects of Georgia Tech together in just thirty seconds. Our Communications & Marketing team certainly couldn't have accomplished all of this without the countless hours of help from student and staff volunteers.
