The Regional Education and Career Pathways Initiative is a collaborative effort among Weber State University, Ogden-Weber Technical College, Davis Technical College, and regional community partners to expand access to education and career opportunities. The initiative helps prospective learners explore their options, connect with appropriate programs and resources, and successfully take the next steps toward their educational and career goals, regardless of which institution they ultimately choose to attend.

The initiative accomplishes these goals through coordinated institutional and community partnerships, targeted outreach, student navigation services, technology-supported engagement, and shared strategies that strengthen educational pathways and improve enrollment outcomes. A central focus is creating a more connected experience for prospective learners and ensuring they receive appropriate support as they move toward enrollment or transition between institutions.

The Enrollment Marketing and Communications Strategist develops, implements, and evaluates marketing and communication strategies, with primary responsibility for supporting the Regional Education and Career Pathways Initiative and additional responsibilities related to Weber State University's prospective student enrollment communications. Reporting to the Executive Director of Admissions and Recruitment, the Strategist develops audience-specific campaigns, creates clear and actionable communication content, coordinates communication plans across departments and institutional partners, and evaluates their effectiveness. The position works closely with the Director of Regional Education and Career Pathways and the Coordinator of Regional Outreach Operations to ensure communications support coordinated outreach and meaningful progress toward enrollment. The Strategist is accountable for the quality, consistency, and effectiveness of assigned communications and their contribution to student engagement and enrollment outcomes.

A major responsibility of the position is supporting the redesign and implementation of prospective student communications as Weber State transitions to Element451. The Strategist collaborates with Admissions and Recruitment, Student Communications, CRM staff, and other university partners to develop coordinated communication strategies from initial student interest through enrollment and preparation for the first semester. The position is responsible for communication strategy, messaging, content, and operational requirements, while CRM technical staff retain responsibility for system configuration and technical implementation.

The Strategist collaborates closely with Student Communications to maintain consistent messaging and coordinate communication strategies. Student Communications, University Marketing and Communications, and appropriate design or web staff support the design, production, and publication of materials. The Strategist ensures assigned communications comply with applicable federal and state laws, university policies, accessibility requirements, and communication consent standards.
