Recruitment Event Support

Displays and materials are available at no cost for you to use when speaking about the college to a group or having a table at an event.

  • Admitted student dean’s welcome letter 

In addition, we work with our Academic Advising team to send a variety of retention-focused communications to program students each semester via email, text and mail. 

Program Marketing Materials

The Marketing department works with all associate degree, technical diploma and apprenticeship programs to develop marketing materials, including: 

  • Program webpage
  • Rack card
  • Testimonials
  • Program photo 
  • Program video 

These materials are used to market the college’s programs to prospective students at recruitment events, on social media, in college advertising and marketing materials and on our website. We reach out to programs annually to ensure the content is accurate, up-to-date and best represents the program. 

In addition, our marketing communications specialists will often visit classes and campus events to take informal photos/videos of students working hands-on to post on Gateway’s official social media channels.
