Community Engagement Officers

Community Engagement Officers (CEOs) promote Kodiak spirit and sense of belonging on campus through outreach to the Cascadia student body about programs and activities, and by building connections between students and opportunities for involvement. CEOs manage campus-wide communications and marketing for co-curricular events, programs, and activities sponsored by the Office of Student Life, the Events & Advocacy Board, and a variety of student clubs. CEOs also manage and promote appearances by Kody the Kodiak, Cascadia's mascot. 

You can contact the Community Engagement Officers at ceo@cascadia.edu. Looking to submit a request to the CEOs? Visit the Student Life Resources website for the request forms. 

Roles

Our Community Engagement Officers team includes three distinct roles, with interconnected responsibilities.

Graphic Arts CEOs

Our Graphic Arts CEOs design all the visual content for our promotional materials. They make the posters, flyers, sandwich boards, brochures, stickers, and logos that you see around campus for Student Life and student club programs. The Graphic Arts CEOs also produce the weekly “TP Times” newsletter that you see in all of Cascadia’s restrooms. Additionally, they create digital content such as web banners, animated videos, motion graphics, and our latest project, the Kody Coloring Book on Canvas. Check out some of our graphic design work!

Digital Engagement CEOs

Our Digital Engagement CEO manages our social media presence and creates much of Student Life’s digital content. The Digital Engagement CEO produces projects such as the “Kodiaks in Quarantine” web series, promotional videos for upcoming events, photo albums from past events, interactive Instagram content, aerial drone videos, club interview videos, and all manner of fun stories, polls, giveaways, and Q&As on social media.

Outreach & Marketing CEOs

Our Outreach & Marketing CEOs are out in the field connecting with students in-person. They do frequent tabling events and mobile marketing visits, where they give out stickers and snacks and sign students up for our weekly email newsletter “Kody’s Weekly.” They also do class visits to College 101 classes to help new students get connected with involvement opportunities. They lead campus tours for prospective students and new students during orientation. They work with our Club Council to help clubs promote themselves and grow their membership, and they also help facilitate Student Life’s Involvement Fair each quarter. Outreach & Marketing CEOs bring Kody the Kodiak to life and manage all of our mascot’s public appearances. Additionally, they do the day-to-day work of hanging all the posters and flyers, distributing the TP Times to every bathroom, updating our Club Info and Weekly Events Calendar bulletin boards, and compiling all the announcements for our weekly newsletters.
