Ithaca College

Participate in President Collado’s Seed Grant Initiative!

The Creative Marketing Student Advisory Group, (CMSAG) is looking for student volunteers to participate in our upcoming focus groups on October 2 & October 5 from 12 p.m. – 1 p.m.

Working with the Office of College Relations and Communications, CMSAG is a group of IC undergraduate students who provide feedback on print and digital products made in-house. We hope to use student feedback from current IC undergraduate students to improve IC marketing and communications materials to be more inclusive, representative, and engaging.

During focus groups, student volunteers will participate in facilitated conversations, providing feedback about what our marketing materials communicate to them, what stories and imagery resonate with them – or don’t – and why.

What’s in it for you? 

-FREE PIZZA
-Chance to win an Amazon gift card
-Participate in the launch of an IC Presidential Seed Grant initiative
-Work with the Creative Marketing and Strategy staff
-Improve the story that IC communications materials are telling

All are welcome, freshmen and sophomores are especially encouraged to attend.  

If this sounds like something you would like to be a part of, sign up on CMSAG’s Engage page.   There will be focus groups posted throughout the semester that you can attend.

October 2, 12 p.m. – 1 p.m. (PRW Lakeside Conference Room 113)

About CMSAG:
In January, President Collado awarded our team with a Presidential Seed Grant to create and launch the Creative Marketing Student Advisory Group, or CMSAG. CMSAG undergraduate students provide feedback on print and digital collateral created by the IC Creative Marketing team, for prospective students and their families.

We hope these ongoing CMSAG student conversations will result in the development of even better IC marketing materials – collateral that truly taps into and reflects things -- and the people -- that make Ithaca College the special place we call home.
