Dear Professional Degree Program MarComm Network:
We hope your summer is going well!
As we mentioned in our previous two meetings, after 4 years leading the Community of Practice, we co-chairs are “retiring” from leadership and we will no longer have regularly scheduled meetings (unless some others wish to take the lead).
However, the good news is that for now we will continue to keep this listserv live and you can seek support from our community here at pgd-commscouncil@lists.berkeley.edu. You may also send messages to the #marcomm_network channel in the BC2 Slack.
Additionally, should there be pressing topics of discussion, any member is welcome to initiate a meeting and reach out to this community to join. Further, if someone wishes to chair/co-chair this community of practice, the opportunity is still available.
It has been a sincere pleasure to lead this community of practice, and we hope it was valuable for you to learn new strategies and approaches for your work. Please feel free to continue to engage with this listserv and community. Thank you all for participating!
Best regards,
Ashley Villanueva - Co-Chair
Shelley Kim - Co-Chair
Kara Ganter - Membership & Assessment Lead
Keith McAleer - Communications Lead
Currently, we have 70 members, representing a wide range of colleges, schools, and units at Berkeley including Berkeley Haas, the College of Engineering, Communications & Public Affairs, Berkeley Law, Journalism, Information, Optometry, Public Health, Social Welfare, College of Natural Resources, College of Chemistry, and College of Environmental Design representing professional degree programs, both large and small, such as Master of Design, Master of Engineering, Master of Translational Medicine, and Master of Analytics. Our goal is to share knowledge that will empower all Berkeley staff, regardless of skill level, to further the university's mission and broaden their own skill sets.
