Public Website/delaGATE
The public website is considered a primary marketing tool to showcase the breadth of offerings and services that Delaware County Community College provides. Audiences for the website span from prospective students, families, alumni, donors, community residents and businesses.
While the web strategy and content manager oversees the content across both the public website and the College’s intranet, delaGATE, the web manager also works in collaboration with OIT’s Web Services department and with individual content authors across the College.
If you, or someone from your team, needs access to your web pages as a content author, please please submit a ticket to the OIT Support Services.
Social Media
The College employs a centralized social media management model to optimize engagement and monitor the institution’s presence in this important space. While the guidelines state that divisions and departments within the College may request individual social media pages/accounts, Marketing & Communications has the right to approve or deny requests.
All departments that are currently involved in the social media space should contact our department to help review current practices and to coordinate future efforts. Email socialmedia@dccc.edu for more information.
