Student cruises though presentation

Instead of doing a PowerPoint presentation for his MKT 310: Marketing Communications class, David Moliterno used a Ford automobile.

The Mount Pleasant senior wanted to do something different for his class presentation on a Ford case study assignment.

Moliterno’s presentation will take place at 11:30 a.m. today between Smith and Grawn halls.

“I went and talked to Tom Krapohl (owner of Krapohl Ford Lincoln Mercury, 1415 E. Pickard St.), and told him about the assignment,” Moliterno said.

Krapohl allowed Moliterno to borrow a Ford truck for his presentation as a visual display on the product history of the trucks.

“I wanted to do something that was refreshing to see,” she said.

Moliterno described his presentation as a display that will paint a picture of an outdoor ad.

“There will be a tent and a Ford truck outside Grawn Hall,” he said. “Students will be curious.”

He said his presentation would show the good relations between the school and community.

“It shows the students there are endless resources available to them in the Mount Pleasant area, but they are not aware of them,” Moliterno said.

Moliterno expects about 30 people to attend.

“I’m doing this for the school,” he said. “I want to spark creativity in the student body on what they can do for class presentations.”
