Marketing and Communications

We all play a role in creating awareness and visibility for the college.

Below are some helpful guidelines and ideas to get you started.

When in doubt, complete a project request form. This ensures we have all the information we need to create and deliver the best product possible quickly and efficiently.

Promoting your study or book

• Let Molly Rosbach know when you have a study or book about to published.
• CC Alan Calvert and Kathryn Stroppel so Alan can add it to your profile and Kathryn can explore additional promotion options.
• Submit a Good News update.

Working with journalists and the media

• Email Molly Rosbach and let her know you are interested in media training.
• Important: Affiliate with Oregon State University first, the College of Public Health and Human Sciences second, and your school third. Keep in mind that reporters likely will use only one and we want to increase the chances of a direct tie to the institution.
