Working cooperatively with all seven community colleges and the University of Hawai'i System, the Marketing and Communications office is charged with communicating the mission, values and news of the University of Hawai'i Community Colleges through systemwide marketing, branding and public relations strategies. Our primary responsibility is to promote UHCC in ways that enhance the public's knowledge and understanding of the seven community colleges; increases interest, support and enrollment in the colleges; and strengthens–locally, regionally and nationally–the reputation of the colleges. One of our recent initiatives involve working with a multi-campus Integrated Communications Committee that includes representatives from all realms of support and academic capacities. With this holistic, collaborative foundation, we aim to improve and streamline interpersonal and institution-wide communication to better and more efficiently serve the students and college community.

Because today's marketing strategies must encompass the full spectrum of communication channels, we have organized our functions into four distinctive areas and established new collaborative teams across the system that allow us to build upon each other's strengths and talents. Target areas include:

• Strategic Planning and Research
• Branding and Advertising
• Media and Public Relations
• Online Experience and Emerging Technologies
