THE GRADUATION SUPPLEMENT IN THE GLEANER

Dear Class of 2009,

 WHAT:

All of our students who will be graduating in the Commencement Activities scheduled for this Sunday, August 9, 2009, do not lose out on the opportunity to have your local church, family members, employers or other well-wishers send congratulatory messages as advertisements in the NCU/Gleaner Graduation Supplement where we seek to give you all the exposure. 

WHEN:

The Gleaner supplement will be published on Thursday, August 20, 2009 with the deadline for submission and payment of congratulatory advertisements being Thursday, August 13, 2009.

 WHY:

The Gleaner supplement will also be available for viewing on the Gleaner Online website worldwide...  This is very helpful for future employers and organizations seeking to have additional access to your public presence as a university graduate.

 HOW:

1.  Download the Gleaner Advertising Commitment Form from the NCU Graduating Class of 2009 website (link on NCU homepage) or just print the form which is also attached to this email.

2.  Either you or your well-wishers, determine what you can afford, then  select the option you can afford and its associated price.

3.  Pay for that option at any Paymaster islandwide or at the University Cashier to:  NCU's, CCMPR income account number :  1115166158. 

4.  Fax, email or bring in the signed commitment form and proof of payment (receipt) to NCU's office of Corporate Communications, Marketing & Public Relations (CCMPR) at the Pierson Drive Complex, Main Campus, Mandeville, Fax to the university's main fax number:  1-876-962-0075 or scan and email to ccmpr@ncu.edu.jm

5.   Apart from your signed commitment form and the receipt we will also need the following:

  • the desired wording for the congratulatory message/ad

  • a standard passport size photograph in your regalia at high resolution , preferably emailed or from a CD or Thumb drive.... We would prefer not to have to scan your photograph, but will if you have the picture in no other format.... If your photographs were taken for your packages, we may be able to source same from Mr. Wiles, but if not, we will be taking pictures for the Gleaner supplement on  the grass near the  Campbell Complex for Sport Culture sign by the back of the basketball court :

    2. Sunday, August 9, 2009 from 7 am to 8:30 am and 12:00 noon to 1:30 pm

NB.  Remember if there are more than one of you graduating from the same local church, workplace or family grouping it may be wise to select a congratulatory advertisement which is large enough to hold one congratulatory statement and the photographs of each of the persons from that grouping....

If you are still not sure how to proceed please feel free to call the Corporate Communications, Marketing and Public Relations Office at:  523-2460 or call the director, Nadeen Campbell on her digicel at: 439-1074.... we will be happy to assist you.
