Awearness Shorts: Q&A at the University of Pennsylvania

Just recently, Kenneth visited the University of Pennsylvania during Penn Fashion Week to give a speech about our brand - speaking to how he started the company and other anecdotes about the business. My team accompanied Kenneth but arrived on campus a few hours before the speech and seized the opportunity to approach a cross section of the student population (video camera in hand) with several topical questions related to the pillars of this blog. We thank the students for participating.

Over the next 5 days (starting with today), we will post one new question with a video response from several students. It was an interesting exercise and we hope to repeat it with different questions and varied demographics in the future. Any feedback would be appreciated.

This is an interesting project and I will be looking forward to seeing the next installments. As for today's question, it is hard to narrow down, but here are my top ten Bush moments for the history books:

10. Federal Marriage Amendment -- first major attempt in history to write discrimination into the Constitution.
9. Turning record budget surpluses into record budget deficits.
8. Ignoring the intelligence report "Bin Laden Determined to Strike the U.S." while on vacation in Texas in August 2001.
7. "My Pet Goat"
6. Lying to the American people and the world about the intelligence around WMDs.
5. Bush v. Gore in SCOTUS -- arguably the lowest point in jurisprudence since Dred Scott.
4. Bush to Al Qaeda -- "Bring 'em on." Hmmm, how's that working out?
3. Bust about Bin Laden -- "Dead or Alive." What ever happened to that guy?
2. "Heckuva job, Brownee."
1. "Mission Accomplished."

Worst. President. Ever.

The AWEARNESS Blog provides daily updates under four socially-aware pillars of discussion: Social Rights, Well-Being, Political Landscape and Hard Times. This blog hopes to raise awareness around the issues that fall under these four areas in a dynamic and engaging format. In addition to regularly updated news and commentary under these topics, the blog also includes Q&As, original content from Kenneth Cole himself and contributions from staff members of Kenneth Cole Productions. There's a lot to delve into so we suggest you stop reading this boring intro stuff and get involved.
