Dear Mr. Cannon,

WHJAKL Communications is elated to have the opportunity to be considered to support the implementation of Marist College Strategic Plan.

The supplementary strategic communication plan details how we pledge to assist with the improvement of the quality of the online graduate education experience at Marist. Our mission is to provide support by focusing on initiatives 21, 22, and 26.

Each member of our team has hands-on experience as an online graduate student and an understanding of the needs to improve the program. Based on personal experience as graduate students and an extensive amount of research, our team has outlined what the majority of online graduate student’s desire in an online setting. Our plan features how the entire curriculum can be more interactive and supportive on a twenty four hour basis. All of our ideas keep one task in mind and that is to make students feel like they are part of a cohort.

By making the enhancements suggested in our strategic communication plan we foresee that current online graduate students at Marist will be even more satisfied with their curriculum than they already are. These progressions will also attract new students to the program by providing features that other online graduate programs lack. We believe that our ideas are consistent with the Marist College Strategic plan and have the best interest of current and potential online graduate students.

Thank you for taking the time to read the enclosures. Our team looks forward to take on the initiative to make these aspirations a reality.

Sincerely,

Kristen Castoro

(Team Communications Representative)
