Why You Need to Attend
Hear what past attendees say about the Summer Institute in Communications and Marketing
This program was absolutely essential to helping me become comfortable in my newly obtained position! The knowledge shared was more than I ever imagined!
I attended the CASE Summer Institute in Communications and Marketing not totally sure what I would get out of the experience, but it far exceeded my expectations! I was engaged throughout the week by the diversity of relevant topics, and the top-notch faculty were committed to in-depth discussion about the issues facing education today. I highly recommend anyone who works in higher education communications attend this conference, especially if their role requires them to wear a lot of hats and support a variety of advancement functions.
Attending CASE Summer Institutes is something you and your supervisor will never regret — the presenters and topics are comprehensive and in-depth. The speakers are knowledgeable, and you'll meet people who can be colleagues and mentors for life!
