Agenda

Just as CEOs lead organisations, Deans lead our higher education institutions. They are the figurehead, the public face and, outwardly, the authority behind how an institution operates. Deans are powerful people, highly intelligent and well respected. Deans have a vision and a wealth of experience when it comes to higher education and – vitally - the power and position needed to put their ideas into action and drive change.

To any journalist looking to write about higher education, Deans should be the obvious go-to for news and views, right? Writers should be fighting for the chance for a sit-down with them.

And yet, more often than not, our brilliant Deans struggle to get onto a journalist’s radar when it comes to media engagement. Those who do attempt to court the press often do not receive the response they hoped for.

So why is it so difficult for the Dean to be seen by the media?

In our latest webinar, business education PR experts Kerry Ruffle and Jonny Stone will discuss why gaining media interest in the Dean isn’t as straightforward a task as it might seem – highlighting the common key challenges and hurdles that stand between Deans and journalists, shining a spotlight on what works and what won’t when it comes to engaging the press and sharing some vital advice for institutions looking to ensure their Deans can be positioned as the thought leaders and progressive personalities that they are.
