Ever had a faculty member or dean walk into your office and tell you a $20,000 grant was just received for an outdoor billboard – or better yet, “a brochure” – for their program? Perkins Funds can be a great way to assist a program in marketing, but as we learned this fall, many community colleges may not be using the funds for marketing at all. And often, the marketing specialists at the college are not invited into the process at the beginning, but at the end!

Join a panel of your marketing colleagues who will provide expertise and tips on how best to create a process that integrates marketing from the beginning – resulting in more exposure and enrollment for Perkins-supported programs.

Key items for discussion will include:

• What Perkins Funds can be used for, and where to find your state’s parameters for Perkins funding
• Working with your grant writer
• The key audiences that Perkins supports
• How to work with academic leadership and faculty in developing a process that ensures marketing is involved at the beginning of the Perkins grant conversation
• Tips for creating program marketing using Perkins funds
