As the spring semester kicks off with start of the Atlantic Sun schedule for both the men’s and women’s basketball teams, Quadworks hopes that their promotions in the upcoming months make the events rowdier and more exciting than ever.  “Since Mercer’s  athletic teams play such an important role in the life of the campus, Quadworks’ “Bear Brigade” committee is charged with finding ways to instill school spirit in Mercer students; it is only natural that we should search for ways to work together to increase support and momentum for our teams while supplying students with ways to become involved on campus,” commented Quadworks representative Aaron Adkins.  After sponsoring several different activities in the fall, including a plethora of promotions during Mercer’s homecoming basketball game against Georgia Tech, Quadworks released their upcoming promotions schedule for the spring semester this past week.

        Quadworks Marketing Associate Lindsey Hazzard was quite excited about the upcoming promotion schedule, commenting, “I think Mercer Athletics is really stepping it up.  There will be free give-aways at all Quadwork sponsored events as well as tailgating at some baseball and softball events.”  She added, “It’s just a little more excitement for those who come and support Mercer University athletics.”

        In January and February, Quadworks is sponsoring four basketball games against key A-Sun rivals, including the final home stand of the season February 20^th and 21^st against Lipscomb (men’s basketball) and Belmont (women’s basketball). 

        Other promotions in the spring will include a pair of softball games against Furman and Georgia State as well as the baseball team’s home date against in-state rival Georgia Tech.

         Commenting on the upcoming athletics schedule, Adkins added, “Some of the most exciting moments on campus occur during sporting events so if we can offer students excitement and the opportunity to show their “Bear Pride” on the outside, it’s a win-win.”
