Director of Communications for Student Affairs Caitlin Aiello is offering open office hours via Zoom every week for student groups interested in further promoting their events and achievements.
Aiello is available every Monday from 6:00 p.m. until 8:00 p.m. to meet with students to brainstorm ideas on how to further group messaging by utilizing the many forms of communication available.
“I'm super excited to offer this to our student groups,” Aiello says. “From social media to the IUP website and the Pathfinder, as well as Crimson Connect, there are numerous ways for student groups to advertise their activities and events within their organizations and to the university. I also look forward to continuing my work with our student groups to develop partnerships with the rest of the university.”
The Office of Student Leadership polled student groups during IUP Day to determine a day and time that would work best for students to attend an informal discussion about their goals and upcoming events.
Aiello used this information to determine the best time and date for the open office hours. From that data, Mondays at 6:00 p.m. became the apparent preferred time for students to jump into a Zoom session and brainstorm ideas with Aiello, who is a member of the Office of Marketing and Communications in the Division of Student Affairs.
“I know that our students are busy with all aspects of college life, so I wanted to offer support when students find it most useful,” she said.
Interested students can reach out to Aiello at caiello@iup.edu or may join her open office hours via Zoom.
