Quiet Period: December 22, 2025–January 5, 2026
The Strategic Communications and Marketing team will observe a quiet period from December 22, 2025, to January 5, 2026, to rest, recharge, and focus on internal projects. During this quiet period we will not assess incoming project requests. We will resume assessing incoming requests after we return on Monday, January 5, 2026.
Marketing and Communications 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 support revenue and retention efforts across the Student Services and Enrollment Management division—especially during peak periods—we’ve established submission deadlines for projects needed within 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 Strategic Communications and Marketing, addressed at the unit level, or reassessed. Please submit your marketing and communications requests, including all necessary details, by the deadlines listed:

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.
