PICM has been working diligently to release an electronic email newsletter for faculty and staff. Marvi presented the current content which pulls from the Faculty/Staff page. People will receive a daily feed, and on the first Tuesday of every month an email newsletter will be sent out with curated content about ACC. Please take the time to look over this preview and give marketing your feedback: http://e2.ma/message/831le/gyuem

Guidelines have been revised and approved by PLT, and usage permits have been issued for deans, department chairs, etc. These guidelines are strict, and will probably be finalized before spring break.

Nancy Holden and the marketing group have put together some vignettes to show on Channel 19. Brette showed the group a sample of these pieces that soon will pop up everywhere Channel 19 can be seen.

Facing previous years’ challenges with promoting registration, this plan will be more creative and strategic, using student services to see if advisors would be open to accepting new students to come in to talk to an advisor before registering. Javier said this is a great idea because when he tried to meet with anyone before registering, he couldn’t and was very frustrated. The campaign could start much earlier to give students time to come in before registration peak times. Marketing is thinking about sending a mailer to everyone in district to alert that registration is starting. This could be very expensive. The group was worried students would feel “spammed” unless the topic was of their interest. They came up with different schemes that could be used to better target the majority. The new website redesigned for future students will also be part of this plan.

• Loretta would like to thank PICM for all the support given to her area, and to get the word out. Also, she wanted to encourage everyone to contribute to the luggage drive that is ongoing at this moment. • Charles would like to see that the real state program is included in the vignettes soon. Alexis responded that it is already included, and it will also go out through KVUE.

• At out next meeting we will present our new web redesign. • 40th Anniversary Celebration will be around September after classes start. It will probably be at the Highland Site. Dr. Rhodes is thinking about bringing past employees for a luncheon, and also the Emeritus group. Please send your ideas for this celebration.
