Testimonials from 2010 Spring Institute Graduates

"I found this course really valuable - excellent plenaries from first class practitioners coupled with team sessions really worked. Practical advice honed from experience. My team leader and colleagues within the team were excellent. A great opportunity to network with like-minded colleagues, many of whom I now call on when I need inspiration."

-Fiona McWilliams, Director of External Relations & Development
School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS)

"I feel I now have a greater knowledge of the current environment of HE marketing, which allows me to put my own work into context. I now have a much more solid network of colleagues across UK HE marketing. Several sessions related heavily to a number of ongoing/current projects within my own team, and the knowledge I have gained throughout the course will greatly inform my input and participation in these projects hopefully adding real value."

- Claire McQuillan, Marketing Communications Officer, Glasgow Caledonian University

"The whole event was extremely well organised with excellent customer service.
The sessions were run by people who were clearly experienced, knowledgeable and very inspirational to listen to and work with. The time to network was also very useful and the overall tone was pitched just right."

- Rowena Forbes, Publications and Web Editor, The University of Manchester

" I returned to work after the conference full of enthusiasm to put into practice many of the themes covered during the event and have already started implementing them. I also now have a network of fellow marketing managers with whom I can stay in touch with to discuss issues and challenges in the months and years ahead - invaluable."

- Julie Morley, Marketing Manager, University of Huddersfield
