Peekskill Influencer Challenge Recap
On March 28th, from 1:00–4:00 PM, the SUNY Westchester Peekskill Center for the Digital Arts buzzed with excitement as five creative students competed in our first-ever Peekskill Influencer Challenge!
Armed with just their phones and our brand, each contestant collaborated with Chester the Viking, our spirited mascot, to produce bold, engaging, and on-the-spot social media content—highlighting their digital skills, creativity, and unique voice.
