Marketing and Communications

Marketing and Communications (MarComm) drives enrollment revenue
and supports retention through data-informed initiatives
for prospective and current undergraduate students.

We collaborate closely with many campus units to deliver scalable experiences 
that genuinely represent our brand and delight external customers.

Plan Ahead

To lead and support the wide-range of SSEM initiatives, especially during peak periods, we’ve established submission deadlines for projects needed during the first month of each term.

The dates below enable us to effectively assess and prioritize projects across units to inform whether they can be completed by Marketing and Communications, addressed at the unit level, or reassessed.

Additional Considerations

Certain projects may require extended timelines due to their complexity or external dependencies. Several notable areas are highlighted below.

  • Vendors: Initiatives involving external vendors may require additional time for procurement, contracting, legal and IT processes and reviews.
  • Printing: Large-scale printing projects typically need three to six additional weeks to produce after work is completed based on printing complexity and vendor production capacity.
  • New marketing campaigns: Strategic campaigns requiring new messaging, creative assets, multi-channel promotions, and/or 
    technical infrastructure to deliver a cohesive audience experience often need six months or more for effective deployment after project agreement and goal setting.
