Creating Strong Relationships with Academic Colleagues
3:10 PM - 4:10 PM UK Time
Speaker(s): Simon Fairbanks, Head of Student Recruitment Events, University of Nottingham, Catherine Thomson, Senior Communications Manager, St Andrew's University
Academic colleagues are a goldmine of content.
Their teaching, discoveries, and adventures can offer a treasure trove of stories to inspire our audiences.
Partnering with academics can help us achieve our goals in student recruitment, fundraising, alumni relations, and public engagement. But do we?
Or are we too sceptical, dismissive, and wary of our academic colleagues?
Do we tell ourselves that academic colleagues and content professionals are incompatible?
This session will offer you tools and tips to enable you to overcome any barriers, or perceived barriers, and forge winning collaborations.
Teamwork makes the dreamwork.
