BACKGROUND
Since 1961, SUNY Ulster has pursued a mission of providing affordable, accessible higher education to the residents of Ulster County for professional and personal growth. Residents include not only those who have recently graduated from high school, but also lifelong learners who are striving to expand their knowledge and build skills to enter the job market and/or expand their career opportunities. Lifelong learners, or adult students, are typically those students older than 24 years of age, but are not defined by age alone. They have multiple responsibilities centered around career, family, and volunteer responsibilities. As such, higher education opportunities are designed to be conveniently scheduled and located and provide support services to contribute to their success. SUNY Ulster is designing academic programming and scheduling, coupled with the requisite support services, to help Ulster County’s adults earn the higher education credentials they need to begin or advance in their chosen careers. This request for proposal is a call for a communications and outreach strategy to inform and engage the target market in SUNY Ulster’s adult student programming. The campaign is to be launched on or about May 15, 2017 for enrollment in classes beginning August 28, 2017.
