AUBG Daily’s Top 5 Fall 2020 1 2 3 This year, AUBG Griffins flipped a new chapter in the club’s history. After two years of hard work and endless documentation, the AUBG Griffins earned the right to be an official sports team - the Blagoevgrad Griffins. The club expanded their activity by becoming a not-for-profit organization, allowing them to join the new Аmerican football league in Bulgaria. Alongside other pioneering teams, the Griffins are laying the foundation of the American football culture in Bulgaria. This fall semester the first-ever online StartUP conference took place. While adhering to public health guidelines, all AUBG clubs showed creativity by organizing their events online. StartUp was no exception. An online conference was something new and unknown to them. This did not stop the team members from keeping the spirit of the annual conference, bringing together entrepreneurs and investors in front of their screens to share valuable experience with the students. The secrets behind the reporting of the 2020 U.S election have never been closer. In collaboration with the Office of Communications and Marketing at AUBG and bTV Media Group, AUBG Daily organized an online event that sparked a conversation between renowned Bulgarian journalists and AUBG students. Apart from its innovative collaboration with one of the biggest televisions in Bulgaria, AUBG Daily expanded its portfolio of events by launching the first-ever competition for creative JMC students called “Dare to Share.” The club gave the opportunity for talented students to share their works and get published on the official AUBG Daily website, in addition to an array of unique prizes. 4 5 AUBG clubs worked extra hard to keep the spirit of our community and TEDxAUBG was among the most active ones this semester. Throughout October and November, the club members organized themed weeks and collaborative events with other AUBG clubs. From study sessions, to game nights and workshops with several inspiring guest speakers, TEDxAUBG truly managed to show that clubs can continue to be active and collaborate even in these unprecedented times. This year, AUBG Olympics delivered the first-ever fall Olympiad a.k.a D-Day. It went under the “Games & Graffiti” headline and the Olympics crew “sprayed” AR graffiti around the campus to promote the games. As usual, the Porter Park baseball field accommodated the sports challenges, and it was the biggest event for the first half of the academic year with all health and safety regulations on spot. Tervel Pulev was the special guest who awarded all champions. Fall 2020 | AUBG Daily 5
