None.

15 AGENDA ITEM: SUBJECT: 4. COMMUNICATIONS F. Communications and Marketing X Information COMMUNICATIONS AND MARKETING Advertising: The spring quarter enrollment advertising campaign wrapped up on Sunday, April 6. We are continuing to receive positive feedback from the community about the television and radio commercials. The online advertisements on Google have also continued to garner big results. We have seen a consistent 30% increase in visits to the college website, which equals to about more visits per day, over last year. Photography for the Redesigned Website: The college s website project is coming along smoothly. We are going to have a photographer come to campus later this month and take photos of students in the classrooms on campus. These photos will be featured on the redesigned website. A lot of the photos will be action shots showing that RTC students learn in a hands on environment. Open House Events on Campus: The college s Open House events during the spring quarter enrollment period were very successful. We saw the highest attendance ever. The Open Houses brought in a total of 84 prospective students to campus over the course of four events. When we first started doing these Open Houses back in August, we had a total of only 28 people show up over the course of four events. The attendance for these events has tripled since fall quarter. A significant number of attendees were high school seniors, either with their parents or by themselves. This is quite different from the Open House attendees that we ve seen in prior quarters, who have typically been older students in the 30s and 40s. This is due to the fact that we sent out the Open House flyer to several high school counselors in Kent, Renton, Federal Way, Tacoma, Tukwila and also the Puget Sound Educational Service District (PSESD). A few students informed Communications and Marketing Director, Kendra Smith, that their high school counselors put the Open House announcement on their school s website. A few others came to the Open House because they had first learned about RTC when Tahoma High School brought them here for a tour in November The relationships between RTC and the area high schools are paying off. Two students who attended the Open House also told Kendra Smith that had already enrolled to come to school at RTC in fall 2014.

16 Outreach: February through May is a very busy time for the Outreach staff. There are many high school parent nights, college recruitment fairs and on-campus tours. During the week of April 1-4, while RTC was on spring break, we had two large tours come to campus equating to 175 potential students. These students visited the Anesthesia Technician, Nursing and Culinary Arts classrooms. They also ate lunch here, saw a presentation about RTC and learned about the importance of a college education. Since March, we have collected 44 prospect student contact/inquiry cards. MEDIA COVERAGE RTC Mentioned in the March 30 edition of The Seattle Times, On Course: Guide to College Planning. Earning While Learning. (see attached print news clipping) Newcastle News, April 4. Connect with Renton Technical College. SOCIAL MEDIA Our Social Media presence continues to grow.

Lieutenant Governor Brad Owen addressed the students and both Nick and Sherifedin received $250 scholarships sponsored by Key Bank. Nick was also recognized at the American Association of Community Colleges (AACC) Annual Convention in Washington, DC and photos of that event will be shared with the campus when they are available. At the convention, Nick was presented his $2000 scholarship as the New Century Scholar from WA State. Horn Health Club and ASG Senate Partner to Set Standards for Student Travel Funding The Horn Health Club, comprised of all 22 students in the Band Instrument Repair Technology (BIRT) Program, worked with ASG Senators to successfully pilot a funding model to assist student clubs with the expense of out-of-state travel. The club members traveled to Portland, OR in early April to attend the National Association of BIRT Annual Conference, an event that is critical for job placement in their very specialized profession. The cost of each student to attend was approximately $950, and many students could not afford to travel. The club proposed a funding model to the ASG Senate for consideration, asking them to create a best practice to fund a significant portion if the club could demonstrate additional funding support from other sources. See the attached article written by RTC Student Leader Patrick Ketter describing the funding process and published in the Technicom, the bimonthly publication of the association. 1

19 ASG Senate Unanimously Approves Services & Activities Budget Proposal During their final meeting of winter quarter, the ASG Senate approved their budget proposal, which includes more than $500K in funding for student programs and activities including tutoring services, campus events, clubs, student travel and more than 50 paid student leadership positions. The proposal has been shared with RTC Cabinet and representatives of the ASG Senate will present the budget for consideration at the May Board of Trustees meeting. RTC SafeZone Program Supports LGBTQ Community on Campus The RTC SafeZone program identifies, trains and supports advocates of the LGBTQ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer/questioning) community on campus. The program offers training that creates a network of LGBTQ allies on campus who serve as strong role models for mentoring and supporting LGBTQ community members, make issues around gender and sexual identity visible and positive and create a strognersense of community through greater understanding of LGBTQ culture. The LGBTQ Resources page on the RTC Website includes a directory of 10 staff and 11 faculty members who participated in the SafeZone inaugural training in early fall quarter A second training is scheduled for early May for current allies and new staff/faculty who want to join the network.

20 Funds Continuing Education By Patrick Ketter Late last September, Jessica Supinski, Student Programs and Engagement Director at Renton Technical College, gave a presentation to our class. She was excited to inform us that, for the time in RTC history, the Student Senate (a young organization in itself) has been charged with sanctioning and allocating funds to student-led clubs and organizations. Two-thirds of the way through Jessica s presentation she spelled out the numbers and eyebrows were raised around the room. I looked over my shoulder at Dan and knew we were thinking the same thing the seed was planted. Two weeks, two preliminary class brainstorming sessions, one mission statement and a budget proposal later, the RTC BIRT Horn Health Club was born. The major purpose of the club is to raise funds to subsidize extracurricular learning and professional opportunities. What we meant was, "all of us really want to go to the NAPBIRT conference". Our original budget afforded us the money to cover our NAPBIRT membership dues for which we were extremely grateful. The ASG decided to cover membership dues for each student because the expense the budget, despite the fact that paying for students' memberships to professional organizations is technically against Washington State s student government bylaws. So, shortly after our initial budget proposal was approved, I got a call from Jessica concerning the issue above. For practical reasons, the Associate Student Government doesn't like to cut individual costs into pieces, i.e. pay for part of the conference registration fee. After a closer look we realized that, considering all of the associated expenses, the weekend would cost each student roughly $950. Also, the ASG had contributed far more than $80 a student toward sending ASG senators to student leadership conferences. So, what of the $950 could we get them to cover? Despite the fact that we quadrupled our initial request, Jessica's answer was that travel and lodging costs be covered instead. We redrafted the proposal and the senate bought it. Jessica's M.O. was the key to the equation. She was interested in setting a precedent for future funding requests of a similar scope. Maybe next year's Horn Health Club, or another student organization, could request a similar amount of money to help curb costs for next year's conference. It was also key that, as a part of our proposal, we cited our efforts to raise funds for the 22 venture by repairing clients instruments and playing music for events on campus. So, I share this with the NAPBIRT community not to brag about our success, but rather to highlight the value of a recognizable organization and its bargaining power. As we all know, the NAPBIRT conference is an amazing, however expensive, opportunity for students to learn more about our trade and to network. What if every repair student's costs could be curbed by granted funding? Aside from the money issues, the student repair community would come out more tightly knit and, through the exercise of organization, better equipped to deal with the end of getting things done in this business. So BIRT students unite! I think there are a lot of people in the NAPBIRT community that would love to see the answers to some of these questions. Quick-Tips Tools When disassembling key mechanisms to work on individual keys, such as the G# key on oboe upper joint, use a large paper clip bent into an L shape, then push the hinge rod screw out with the paper clip. Push the paper clip tool back out with the freshly lubricated hinge rod screw and you won't have to reset all the keys and springs when reinstalling the one key you are working on. Works great and saves time on numerous mechanisms. Dana Rivard - Arlington, TX
