The 2009 College Media Conference will be cohosted by the Council of Independent Colleges (CIC) and the American Association of State Colleges and Universities (AASCU). CIC and AASCU are two leading higher education organizations committed to serving the independent and state sectors of higher education, respectively. The conference previously was operated by Keith Moore Associates, a prominent campus PR consulting agency. CIC has been a cosponsor of the preconference portion of the meeting, which focuses on publicizing the work of faculty members, for the past 11 years.
About the Conference
This 23rd annual conference promises to be a major event for campus public relations and communications officers as well as representatives of higher education media. Reporters and editors will participate in panel discussions and explain how colleges and universities can interact effectively with them as they report on higher education issues. In addition, the conference features panel discussions by college and university public relations professionals who share best practices and approaches to publicizing campus activities and pitching stories to the media. Networking with colleagues in communications, marketing, and media and public relations from around the country is one of the major benefits of the conference. Past participants have praised the event as being “the gold standard for PR professionals in higher education” and for offering “the most useful content of any media relations conference I have attended in nearly 30 years of PR.”
