Our department's main areas of responsibility are:
- Brand development, market research and visual identity;
- External and internal publications;
- News releases, media relations and crisis communications;
- Event planning and management;
- Marketing and advertising;
- The college web site;
- Provide communications advice to college departments;
- Provide meaningful programming and communication with Alumni;
- Facilitate new and coordinate current relationships/partnerships with external groups including government, supporters, corporations, and the community.
Time and resources have been invested in researching target audiences, key messages, images, techniques, and communication. This led to the creation of a strategic communications and marketing plan which is reviewed and assessed regularly.
