Website flair for main TC homepage (Google)

TCRecord discounts (Apple)

Website solely dedicated to the anniversary: events, the people, etc.

Have all living TC presidents (e.g. Fuhrmann, Levine) open the NYSE

Have a red carpet event where attendees have to pay for seat like a fundraiser

Have the empire state building light up in TC colors

Having a video on the biggest board in Times Sq.

TC Auction – famous alumni, Dewey stuff, create your own curriculum

-Microsoft (potential donors!!!) Tag generated QR codes attached to various resources throughout TC 7 online, present on ads throughout NYC & tied-back to online resources we design with additional contact information to team members.

-Design for All ----> Education for All! Partnership party with Target... Target hosts reading club afterhours at local Kipp schools, events at museums etc. we would get them to throw us a giant birthday party in Central Park! (or here at TC)

-Apple would create unique engraved iPad for donors over $5,000... with exclusive Maxine Greene Quotes.

-Create Maxine Green graffiti that would appear around the various NY boroughs.

-Special suggested reading list on Amazon of TC authors & luminaries. (Also from TCPress & TCR Publications...)

-Posters in big-box stores that highlights TC accomplishments... particularly at stores were wealthy donors will shop.

Wan and Demetri:

Apple used to celebrate their product's anniversaries, so our idea was to promote what we believe to be TC's popular product, TC Record.

We can show off a gallery of the TC record's covers over the years and try to encourage people to sign up to the site for more.

IBM would write books, hold forums, and exhibits for their 100 year anniversary. They also created a 123 foot digital wall with live data, or a data wall.

TC can try to create a similar data wall (or a big screen tc) with immersive measure-able live data from the college. It can also show information about TC alumni and their history with the college and their present endeavors, and a world map visualized where they are in the world.
