MarCom Gathering Academic Program Recruitment Content

MarCom will be seeking materials from academic programs to create marketing materials in time for Fall Preview! Please be on the lookout for requests for information and review! I know we've been eagerly awaiting these items and this is coming when there is a lot on everyone's plates (including MarCom). I appreciate your help getting this material compiled and reviewed!

The University will provide a table cover, a retractable floor or table banner, and a fact sheet to each program as part of a recruitment package at no cost to the departments, along with some standard Cal Poly Humboldt swag items.
