What happens when I send an event to College Relations?

All events are divided into sub-groups before publicity/media decisions are made. First we ask ourselves whether the event is open to the public or for people on campus only. If the event is open only to faculty, staff and/or students, chances are that you will not see it on the homepage of the AC website.

The homepage is reserved for events that are open to the public and to prospective students. Everything else is announced on our portal, myAC (my.actx.edu).

I would like a link on the homepage of actx.edu. How can I make this happen?

Unfortunately, you probably can’t. The main website is for prospective students, making navigation and appearance very important. A team of AC employees has worked very hard—and continues to work hard—at making the homepage, and the rest of the site, friendly for those who aren’t yet part of AC. Therefore, changes are not made lightly or arbitrarily. 

The main website is a marketing tool for prospective students and to provide information about Amarillo College to the world. While there are many departments that use the actx.edu site as a tool to provide information to only faculty and staff, navigational priority is for the prospective student. 

The "staff" menu item on the home page with its sublinks was left in place only because it had been on prior versions of our website and those options are not available elsewhere yet.

Can College Relations help me with printed materials?

Probably.  The first thing to do is to contact Jena McFall.  Our office can create brochures, posters, tickets, programs, fliers, you name it.  Please remember:  artwork must be at least 300dpi!!!  If you don't know what that means, we'll be happy to explain it.  Print and web quality are very different, so something you are using on the web may not be appropriate for something you intend to print.
