MAKING HISTORY: The Campaign for Penn

In this, the second film of Penn's $3.5 billion campaign, you'll come face to face with a few of the outstanding men and women -- faculty, students, and leaders -- who answer the question: What does it take to make history? It's a rare snapshot of a university that never stands still, your inside look at Penn at this singular moment -- a time when we are turning possibility into reality as never before.

@aeleeds Ya, they have no clue what they're doing (intensely sarcastic)...

They've already raised 3 billion dollars, I think they have at least the slightest clue what they're doing.

All of these videos combined have about 10000 views. Now let's make up some numbers. Let's assume each of 22 videos cost about $10000 to make. That's probably way too low, but some are much shorter some much longer, so let's go with it. The purpose of these videos is advertisement, i.e., they're supposed to convert views into further donations. Assume a 1:100 rate of conversion, which I again think is optimistic, and an average donation of $50... In other words, this is pissing money away.

Hm. This video seems to have more women than men (focus more on female students than male) and not a single Asian (other than the one shot of a lecturer) ...
