Staff Shout Out Update
-
Received 18 shout outs, process (send email to nominee, and what was said about the individual, copying Maria – processing prizes).
-
Next step is to add a page to the website, for listing of nominations and what their nominator stated (some nominators want to stay anonymous and sometimes keep their statements anonymous as well?)
-
Change language to encourage people to give permission to use their comments.
-
Reach out to a particular person or change language to have an opt-out.
-
Reasons to keep anonymous: jealousy, not hurting other’s feelings, and not making others feel excluded/left out.
-
Remind staff and others of this program, budgeted 80 and we have gotten 18 nominations.

Conference recap from Angie Schmitt and Angela Beale
-
InsightsEDU Findings
-
Work for every staff member is different, not every staff role is the same.
-
Really cool ideas from other higher education institutions and professionals.
-
Community building and a way to share ideas.
-
Higher level but small bits of information, that was able to walk away with ideas that can be integrated into day-to-day work.
Five Takeaways:
-
Website – having all key information accessible, user friendly, clear picture.
-
Awareness Marketing – working in the background, a presence in the back of people’s mind.
-
Social media – LinkedIn – having an active presence is crucial, a top website for students to get information about certain colleges/higher education institutions.
-
Online Demand – overwhelming demand, and market for online learning.
-
AI – using as marketing tool.
-
What can we do? Honoring individual position/department differences and similarities.
-
Part 2: Brainstorming – workshopping certain topics (cross-training)
-
So much room for collaboration with CLAS Marketing
-
Disconnect from Graduate to Undergraduate Marketing, lots of conflicting information, conversations need to happen.

Not clear delineation about who does what in terms of marketing at the college level?
