Ahh, the joys of autumn. Pumpkin spice lattes, cooler temperatures and football. They’ve got nothing on the excitement of CreateAthon@USC. Every fall, students and mentors deprive themselves of sleep, and perhaps even a shred of sanity, developing advertising and marketing communications for good causes in just 24 intense hours.
