Indoor Recess

Indoor Receses was created by Isabella Courtenay-Morris, Johnny Thai, Emily Gorey, Joy Darlene Mangat, Clayton Hutton, and Jiaman (Maggie) Peng in 2020. An ad comp for students stuck indoors instead of interning because of Covid-induced internship cancellations and hiring freezes. The team banded together to organize a virtual pitch competition to give new talent a fighting chance in the industry. Throughout its three summer Sessions, Indoor Recess helped over 270 students show off their skills and collaborate across multiple industry functions, all with the support of industry professionals who mentored and judged the final pitches.
