 Proposal: Promoting TACES (The Assumption College English Society) to All Courses

Introduction:

The Assumption College English Society (TACES) plays a crucial role in helping students explore new horizons and improve in various fields within the college community. TACES conducts workshops and provides opportunities for individuals from all courses to develop their talents and skills related to academics and society. However, there is a communication gap where some students from different departments are unaware that these workshops and activities are open to all courses. This proposal aims to address this issue by implementing effective strategies to promote TACES among students of all courses within the school.

I. Objectives:

a) Increase awareness: Raise awareness among students from various departments that TACES offers workshops and activities open to all courses, not limited to English or Education majors.

b) Encourage participation: Encourage students from diverse courses to participate in TACES workshops and events, fostering a sense of unity and collaboration among all members of the college community.

c) Enhance engagement: Increase student engagement with TACES by highlighting the benefits of participation and how it can contribute to their personal and academic growth.

II.  Proposed Strategies:

a) Multichannel Communication:

Utilize various communication channels to reach a broader audience of students from different departments:

i) Social Media: Regularly post updates, success stories, and testimonials on TACES' official social media platforms, emphasizing the diverse range of activities and accomplishments of students from various courses.

ii) College Website: Create a dedicated page on the college website to showcase TACES' mission, vision, and upcoming events. Ensure that this page is easily accessible and prominently linked to the main website.

iii) Bulletin Boards: Utilize strategically placed bulletin boards across the college campus to display eye-catching posters and flyers promoting TACES events.

b) Collaborative Workshops: Partner with other student organizations and academic departments to host joint workshops and events. This will foster cross-disciplinary collaboration and attract students from various fields of study.

c) Guest Speakers and Alumni Success Stories: Invite guest speakers from different professional backgrounds to share their experiences during TACES events. Additionally, showcase success stories of TACES alumni who have excelled in their respective fields regardless of their academic backgrounds.

d) Personal Invitations:

Encourage current TACES members to personally invite students from other courses to attend workshops and events. Personal invitations often have a more significant impact and help create a welcoming atmosphere.

e) Faculty Endorsements:

Seek endorsements from respected faculty members across various departments to vouch for the benefits of TACES participation, emphasizing the value it adds to students' personal and academic growth.

III. Monitoring and Evaluation:

To measure the effectiveness of the strategies, the following metrics will be used:

a) Attendance Records: Track the attendance of students from different courses at TACES events and workshops.

b) Survey Feedback: Conduct surveys to gather feedback from participants, both current TACES members and those attending for the first time, to assess their experiences and satisfaction levels.

c) Social Media Analytics: Analyze social media engagement metrics to gauge the reach and impact of online promotional efforts.

IV. Timeline:

The implementation of the proposed strategies will be carried out over a period of six months:

- Month 1-2: Develop promotional materials, set up the college website page, and secure faculty endorsements.

- Month 3-4: Execute the multichannel communication plan and organize joint workshops with other student organizations and academic departments.

- Month 5: Host events featuring guest speakers and alumni success stories.

- Month 6: Conduct surveys and analyze data to evaluate the effectiveness of the promotion strategies.

V. Budget:

The budget required for this initiative will cover the costs of printing promotional materials, organizing events, and any additional expenses related to outreach efforts. A detailed budget proposal will be submitted separately for approval.

Conclusion:

Promoting TACES among students of all courses is essential to ensure that every individual in the college community has the opportunity to explore and improve themselves academically and in various other aspects of life. By implementing the proposed strategies and monitoring the outcomes, we can bridge the communication gap and create an inclusive and vibrant TACES community, fostering a sense of unity and growth among all students at The Assumption College.
