Regularly updating students, faculty and staff about upcoming events, announcements and news.
Developing messaging and materials for student recruitment, orientations and open houses.

We refine and enhance the college’s identity on campus, across the state and beyond. Examples include:

Accolades, a digital magazine for alumni and friends.
“How I Think and Do,” an alumni video series highlighting the value of our college.
