Campus communicators meetup
This week we had our first campus communicator meetup. In the past it was a once per year half day event with presentations and mandatory attendance. This year we scaled it down to a 1-2 hour discussion on timely topics with a smaller group.
About 20 communicators from across campus attended the meetup. We had salad, pizza and pop to offer and a few topics to get the discussion started and get feedback on. I took detailed notes and summed them up below. Unfortunately the raw notes and results are only available to the Wayne State communicators but I did list out some of the broad topics we talked about.
Topic’s and Notes from the Meeting:
- Promoting faculty research/accomplishments
- Media report created by PR
- Quote “At the end of the day all of the University’s research impacts our lives in some way”
- Idea: Weekly News Reel
- Discussion: Current state of the university’s culture
- Thought: People seem to be responding well to the Wellness Warriors program
- Idea: Quiz bowl for Wayne State facts with prizes
- Idea: “Watch for Wayne State in..” email or message prior to media
- Idea: Make the scholars on campus accessible
- Discussion: Faculty orientation is a great place to start engaging
