Marketing and Communications

The Marketing and Communications Department at Mat-Su College manages the placement of college information across digital, broadcast, and traditional marketing platforms. Our team works to ensure clear, engaging, and effective communication that supports student enrollment and community engagement.

Event Promotion Requests

Departments or groups seeking advertising for their event must submit all details at least 3 to 4 weeks before they want the advertising to begin. This ensures we have enough time for proper design, approval, and promotion. 

Submit your request via email with the following details:

  • Event name, date, and time
  • Location
  • Target audience
  • Key message and call to action

To submit an event promotion request, contact Marketing and Communications.

Review and Approval Policy

The college requires that all advertising internal and external be reviewed and approved by Marketing and Communications. Approval is required for display and classified advertising in newspapers and other print publications, and for advertising on radio, television, and other venues.

All clubs, departments, committees, or individuals at Mat-Su College who wish to promote an event, initiative, or information through posters, flyers, or other marketing materials must submit them to the Marketing and Communications Department for approval before distribution. This process ensures that all materials align with college branding, messaging, accessibility, and policy standards.

Submissions are reviewed for clarity, professionalism, correct logo usage, and compliance with college guidelines. To allow enough time for review and potential revisions, materials should be submitted at least one week before the intended distribution date. For questions or to submit materials, contact Marketing and Communications.
