As of April 1, Strategic Communications cannot guarantee the completion of any new projects before Commencement on May 3. During this period, we anticipate increased workloads and encourage your area to plan accordingly, as well as understand new project timelines may require flexibility based on capacity. If you have any questions or need to discuss specific projects during this timeframe, please feel free to reach out. Thank you for your cooperation.

Strategic Communications wants to help you achieve your goals. Whether you’d like to share a student success story, promote your event, develop an outreach strategy, or reconfigure your department’s web presence, we come from a place of collaboration.

The questions below give us what we need to get started. Please include all relevant dates and details in your request. If you are unable to get us fundamental information (key details such as time, date, location, description, etc.) within these timelines, our capacity to support will be limited.

Please anticipate the following timelines for production when submitting your project: 

• Print (more involved pieces, i.e., reports or brochures): at least 6 weeks lead time
• Print (less involved pieces, i.e., clings or flyers): at least 3-4 weeks lead time
• Event planning/promotion: at least 4-6 weeks lead time
• Press: at least 3-4 weeks lead time
• Remarks (president or president’s designee): at least 3-4 weeks lead time
• HTML emails: at least 2 weeks lead time
• Social media promotion, website calendars, digital signage: at least one week lead time
• CNews: 1-2 business days lead time
• Community Starts Here: Noon Wednesday (Tuesday in summer) for inclusion in the following week

These timelines are subject to change given high-traffic times of year (August-October, March-May). Any submissions within these timeframes will be considered on a project-by-project basis determined by other department volume.

Necessary supplemental forms include the president’s form (please complete this if you need presidential remarks). If you are planning an event and need support, please complete the event request form. If photography is appropriate, please complete the photo request form. If you are looking to shoot video, please complete the form below and walk us through your concept.

Don't forget to consider ADA accommodation as it is applicable to what you are developing.

CNews

To send a CNews, please submit a request. The audience for CNews is faculty and staff and is best used in circumstances such as new hires, retirement or bereavement, facilities/maintenance issues, or last-minute changes to campus affairs (such as professional development week). We do not include attachments to CNews.

Community Starts Here

Our weekly newsletter sent to all faculty, staff, and students is a thorough resource for all campus happenings and CCP related news. Please submit your material to csh@ccp.edu by Wednesday (Tuesday during summer hours) at noon for inclusion the following Monday.
