Communication Services
Event Calendar
The online calendar allows the campus community to easily list their events for students and the public to see and find. To include an event on the event calendar, submit your entry on the event submission page.
Campus Announcements (Employee Emails)
The Campus Announcement is an email sent out by the Marketing Department to Cañada College employees. Provide the email content (text and images) through the Marketing Assistance Request Form at least 4 business days in advance. Distribution is scheduled so as not to overload employee inboxes on any one day and to encourage reading of the emails.
Student Email Communication
A San Mateo County Community College student email address is the main delivery system used to email students about events, workshops, important programs, services or deadlines. Provide the email content (text and images) through the Marketing Assistance Request Form. Promotional messages are set in newsletter format 1-2 times per week. Volume and frequency of emails sent to students are moderated to avoid overloading students with information.
