Elevating Narratives from Our Diverse Campus Culture
The Marketing and Communications Office communicates to inform and inspire; and invite participation in collecting ideas, providing feedback, and sharing the College's strategic vision.
Our collective strength comes from individuals whose daily work changes lives through education. We combine relationships, partnerships, and our expanding webs of knowledge.
Our transparent, collaborative processes empower the College community as ambassadors of education's transformative potential.
The Marketing and Communications Office is responsible for College communications and public information. This office works closely with the College Services Department on marketing, advertising, publicity, public relations, institutional branding, graphic design, print publications, video production, the District website, and District mailings.
Communication
The goal of interactions with the Marketing and Communications Office is that all involved feel respected, safe, and that their voice is valued.
It's the people who make the programs; and sharing stories about our community is what we do best and love the most! Have an idea or something newsworthy? Share it!
