The Marketing and Public Relations Director oversees the strategy, development, and ongoing maintenance of 79.sherbornecottages.com, Hope International University’s official public website. This also includes other related digital communication and outreach such as e-newsletters, web-based announcements, online advertising endeavors, search engine optimization, and the online public master calendar.
The website is usually the first way our constituents interact with the university and has been a critical asset. Recently, HIU has significantly invested in the development and maintenance of an engaging, relevant, and user-friendly website. In this heavily based digital age, HIU is dedicated to producing internet communication that reflects its commitment to excellence.
HIU recognizes that social media sites have emerged as both effective and increasingly important forms of communication for our constituents and the world at large. HIU believes these mediums can be great tools to inform and interact with its diverse constituents as well as foster community and increase HIU branding and promotion efforts. In order to utilize these new mediums effectively, HIU has developed a social media policy to guide faculty and staff operating official social media accounts that represent HIU’s colleges, departments, programs or offices.
