Strategic Student Communications
The Student Communications Team and the Student Marketing Center make up the Strategic Student Communications department. Together we manage communication strategy and implementation targeted toward the Cal Poly Humboldt student population, from prospective to currently enrolled students. Working with many mediums and channels, we are here to help you communicate with students via email, text message, social media, digital advertising, postcards, posters and more!
There are two main pathways for communicating with students:
Student Marketing Center
The Student Marketing Center manages marketing campaigns and designs materials aimed at enhancing campus student engagement for students by students; examples include the weekly What's Happening email newsletters, sandwich board ads, social media posts, screen ads/MP4 videos, brochures, flyers/posters, press releases, and community calendar listings. Visit the Student Marketing Center for information about deadlines and how to make a request.
Student Communications Team
The Student Communications Team takes requests for emails and HumBot text messages intended to reach students. We can help with communications plans that include a mix of both. For example, email invitations to register for events and text reminders the day-of for registered participants. Visit Student Communications for information about deadlines and more.
