“We are thrilled about Thiel College’s starring role on national TV in Coca-Cola’s new college football campaign,” Thiel College President Susan Traverso, Ph.D., said. “The ad speaks to the pride and belief we have in our football team, but also in all of our athletic programs and academic departments. This thunderclap of national attention builds on the College’s recent positive momentum. The exposure and excitement are perfectly timed to coincide with the arrival of our full first-year student class and the return of the rest of our students on Sunday.
