A joint effort

Come and see us between 10am and 6pm
on Friday or Saturday

In any given application cycle we always have lots of events. So, I'm going to be out and about a little over the next week. I'm helping out the recruitment team at the MK Job show tomorrow – 10-6 in the mall. It’s important that we put in a joint effort in ensuring a positive message is given about Bedfordshire, but also to ensure we offer support and guidance to people who are considering higher education.

A sneaky peak at our new Open Day webpage

We also have our first 2017 cycle Open Day on Wednesday, and I’ll be supporting the recruitment team then too. There is such a big emphasis put on our Open Day to ensure we give a great experience to everyone who sets foot on campus, and not just the prospective students, but the family, friends, or school teachers who come along too – as they are often key influencers in the decision making process. I’ve also been working with the digital team over the last three weeks to create a new Open Day webpage, to help aid conversation and sign ups to our Open Days. This will be live from 5pm on 21 September, ready for the October Open Day. It will be good to see what impact this has on our conversion, as well as dwell time and bounce rates on our webpage. I think it’s looking really nice – it’s a lot more visual, with more dynamic content and more marketing messages to reflect what Bedfordshire can offer students.

We also have the CIPR Awards on 22nd September, so we’re mulling over what outfit to wear and contemplating winning another two awards – keep your fingers crossed. We’ll be sure to let you know if we win!! Watch this space…

Thanks,
Kylie
