Interactive Newsletter, Fall 2020
When classes at NJCU switched from in-person instruction to online instruction during the COVID-19 pandemic, Marketing professors redirected their curriculum to provide a creative outlet for students while accomplishing course learning objectives. Utilizing COVID-19 related assignments as a learning technique as well a coping mechanism, students recommitted themselves to Marketing creativity. Two Marketing students then developed one interactive newsletter to feature selections from the professors' archives of the best student work from MKTG 360 (Writing for Marketing and Public Relations) and MKTG 340 (Visual Communication for Integrated Marketing Communication) during online instruction. The interactive newsletter communicates students' agility in adapting their Marketing capabilities to new projects (and challenging times) and showcases the strength and creativity of Marketing students in the NJCU School of Business.
