The Final Chapter  /  digital & print

Filmed, edited and produced by Daniel Kobin

On April 6, 2015, the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh announced that the university would be cutting the men's soccer program without providing any substatial reasoning behind the decision. All attempts to save the program have been rejected to this date by the UW-Oshkosh administration.

The Final Chapter is a visual look inside the 2015-16 season of the UW-Oshkosh Men's Soccer program. I played four years of soccer during my time at UW-Oshkosh, so the decision was something that still impacted me personally along with fellow teammates, friends, classmates, coaches, alumni and more. The Final Chapter was created in video and print forms to help tell the story of the program's "final" season. 

Along with the video and catalog, I led efforts with the help of fellow alumni and teammates to keep the soccer program alive through #SaveUWOSoccer, a large-scale social advocacy campaign. The campaign included social media, digital and grassroots advocacy and helped generate over 1,500 Facebook page likes, 3,300 petition signatures and $60,000 in pledges.
