NEW OUTREACH TACTIC

Golden West College is greeting the new year with a new marketing

students who take advantage of the college’s many programs, said Margie

Bunten, a college spokeswoman.In addition to illustrating the value of a

Golden West education, the “Oceans of Opportunity” campaign also

highlights the college’s Huntington Beach location.With the interactive

CD-ROM, potential students can use a computer to view a four-minute

video, connect to the campus Web site, or to view photographs and read

more about the college’s academic programs, athletic tradition and fine

and performing arts environment. The CD also comes with printable forms,

such as admission and financial aid applications.The CD and other

informational materials are available to prospective students from the

college’s outreach office, which can be reached at 895-8144. The office

also provides personalized tours of the Huntington Beach campus.
