What is Communicators Connect?
The Communications and Marketing department launched UCCN in 2016. Held quarterly, each one-hour meeting features a different theme, guest speaker and learning takeaway. The sessions are designed to provide opportunities for communicators in faculties and departments across the university to:
- Network among colleagues.
- Share information about emerging communications issues and activities.
- Effectively and cost-efficiently conduct professional development activities for university communicators.
- Learn about university-wide communications standards, procedures and guidelines.
- Serve as an occasional focus group for consultation on communications activities.
The goal is for communicators to:
- Become more aware of the university’s strategic direction.
- Be exposed to professional development activities.
- Connect with fellow communicators working in all university faculties and departments as well as with external colleagues.
All are welcome to attend.
