University Relations and Marketing

Launched a new version of the website PBA.edu, with an interactive map and a program finder to help prospective students explore courses of study that fit their personal traits. Relaunched the PalmPBA app.

Created and distributed a COVID-19-specific edition of the Experts Guide for media partners. This led to numerous local television stations and WORLD Magazine reporters interviewing professors for multiple stories, further promoting PBA to prospective students and their families and establishing the faculty as leading experts in their respective fields.

Conducted an interactive media training in November to prepare key faculty and staff to share their expertise when called upon for external interviews. The goal of the training was to help multiply the number of favorable media placements by increasing faculty comfort in front of the camera. More than 20 faculty and staff attended. Israel Balderas, broadcast veteran and assistant professor of convergence journalism, did a demonstration.

Shifted numerous graphic design projects in-house, for significant cost savings. Refreshed design of several publications and launched a new one: The Quill, with its podcast, for The LeMieux Center for Public Policy.

Re-designed and re-released the book Miracles and Wonders, Dr. Donald E. Warren’s firsthand account of PBA’s formative years. The book is available on Amazon. Proceeds from the sale of the book benefit the Bebe Warren Scholarship Fund.
