Mary Piccioli was a participant at the American Marketing Association's 2010 Symposium for the Marketing of Higher Education held in San Diego, November 7 - 10, 2010.



Mary Piccioli joined Higher Education Marketers from all over the world in San Diego as they discussed cutting edge approaches, new tools and technologies, and the hottest trends on the forefront of Higher Education Marketing.  During the 2010 Symposium, Mary co-presented an informative marketing session breakout with Dr. Emily F. Sinsabaugh, VP for University Relations, St. Bonaventure University.

Add to it that customers - students and families - continue to expect more information, and quickly. But it also derives from the fact that institutions need to build demand by marketing affordability, especially through scholarship programs. As for marketing affordability, it is no longer enough for an institution to toss out a few averages and percentages on their website or in financial aid brochures.  Prospective students and their families, and even the federal government, are demanding more.
