2020 Collegiate Marketing Institute is rescheduled.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2020 Collegiate Marketing Institute has been rescheduled! The rescheduled event will take place in November 2021 at the Pittsburgh Marriott City Center. This difficult decision was reached after careful consideration of recommendations from the World Health Organization, Centers for Disease Control (CDC), state and federal governmental agencies, as well as the significant travel restrictions in place for employees of many college and university campuses.

“I gathered so much information about building a team and working the student agency model at the Collegiate Marketing Institute, and I know this information will prove invaluable when growing our program here at the University of Delaware Student Centers.”
Abigail Phillips, Communications Specialist
“This was one of my favorite conferences I’ve ever been to! All of the topics were relevant and I was able to take something away from each session that could apply to my current role. For example, I have a better understanding of how to implement strategies like marketing workshops for pro staff and creating consistent branding tools for staff. I am definitely interested in attending another Marketing Institute!”
Emily Helm, Virginia Commonwealth University

“Since I am not an actual marketing professional, I gained A LOT of knowledge, information and resources from this conference. I also made some great connections with professionals in the field that will help me to continue to grow in my role. I came away with pages of notes, ideas and inspiration on how our small department can enhance our presence on campus, while developing student employees.”
Samantha McLeod, Saint Louis University
“It was refreshing to share space (physically and mentally) with other student affairs/marketing professionals. The sessions helped me solidify the reasoning behind my implementation. I felt right at home with this group, and walked away knowing more than a handful of individuals that I can call as resources and friends!”
Tiffani Stephenson, University of Florida
