UCLL

Taking care of all press communications for a large organization like UCCL, that's a comprehensive assignment:

• We advised on and coordinated all press communications
• We prepared UCLL researchers, faculty and students for press interviews
• We edited the press releases
• We proactively contacted journalists and capitalized on trending topics to bring in UCLL experts
• We organized press actions and moments
• We attended the UCLL news council
• We were in charge of press and social media screening

We sent out a total of 53 press releases and invitations, highlighting a wide range of topics. A small sample?

• The exam-free day after the elections - the first college! - so that students who are living in digs and voting do not lose valuable study time.
• The victory of the UCLL Sharks at the Hasselt Student Regatta (for the second year in a row!).
• Ten new postgraduates
• The shortage of kindergarten teachers, which we pitched in several radio interviews

That's quite an accomplishment for just five months, but the results are certainly impressive: more than 500 articles were published during this period! If that isn't a kiss from the professor and a solid step forward, I don't know what is.
