My first write-up in local rag
When my department chair told me that Phoenix College would be canceling classes on December 6 if there weren’t enough students enrolled, I got really worried about my videoblogging class. It’s being offered for the first time, and no one would even know to look for it. So I decided to send an email announcement to the Maricopa Community Colleges email distribution list, and as an afterthought, I submitted a press release form to PC’s marketing department.
Luckily, the press release generated some interest and was picked up by the Arizona Business Gazette. I was interviewed by reporter Alison Stanton on December 4, and her article was published yesterday. She was nice enough to email me and let me know.
I’m looking forward to Tuesday, January 2, when I can go see whether the article had any immediate effect on enrollment.
