Whether communication is your full-time responsibility or in your “other duties as assigned,” you play a crucial role in elevating the college’s brand.
We don’t expect you to know it all or be able to create marketing materials from scratch. That’s why we created this website. It’s a place where you can find best practices, templates, tutorials, and more. We want to give you the tools to be successful.
