On April 5th, I had the privilege of working Hatter Saturday, which was the final showcase event at Stetson for potential new students. It turned out to be quite a day, starting bright and early at 8 AM. I got to capture the excitement as students and their families signed in and made their way into the gymnasium for the introduction speech by President Roellke and some inspiring guest speakers.

One of the highlights of the day was being able to capture footage of all the student organizations gathered in Palm Court. It was fantastic to watch families explore the diverse clubs and organizations Stetson has to offer at the various tabling stations run by enthusiastic students. The atmosphere was filled with smiles, and it was heartwarming to see the genuine joy from both Stetson students and families alike. I made sure to cover nearly every tabling group, soaking in the vibrant energy.

Another fun moment was when the prospective students had a chance to ring the iconic Stetson bell! Throughout the day, there was plenty of delicious food and live music to enjoy, provided by a talented duo of current Stetson students. Overall, it was a wonderful day filled with excitement and connection, showcasing everything that Stetson has to offer where I could capture great photos and videos of all the memories.
