“A colleague just brought to my attention one of the best marketing pieces I’ve seen yet that came out of this campus. Your handout is so well designed — it is obvious a lot of thought and word-smithing went into it. Love how it has so much information – and yet, is packaged so well that it isn’t daunting to pick up and skim through. It actually has me thinking about heading back to school.” — Colleague
“The new web site is fantastic! It gives so much more “vibrancy” to the information. The boss of one of my friends from college, in Arkansas, has a national merit scholar daughter who’s torn between studying engineering at A&M or Illinois. I just sent her the new URL and I think the great new graphics will definitely persuade her to come [to this college].” — Colleague
