Public Information & Marketing

Public Information, Marketing & Media Relations

Our goals with CMC’s public information, marketing and media relations are simple:

• To ensure the people of the communities we serve are aware of the educational opportunities provided by CMC that may benefit themselves and their families
• To share the stories of our students, faculty, staff and administration with the communities we serve
• To celebrate our students’ successes, along with those of our alumni, faculty, staff and administration
• To produce media (videos, podcasts, radio shows, print, digital) that tells the CMC story
• To support our students, faculty, staff and administration with their communications needs
• To better connect the communities we serve with the college through events and other opportunities
• To provide opportunities for student involvement with media production, marketing and outreach initiatives

Note: If you are a student, alumnus, or a member of CMC’s faculty, staff, or administration, and you have a CMC story to tell, please contact this office. We’re happy to share your story in a medium that works for you.
