The promotionPromotion is the business of communicating with customers. It will provide information that will assist them in making a decision to purchase a product or service. The pace and creativity of some promotional activities are almost alien to normal business activities.The cost associated with promotion or advertising goods and services often represents a size-able proportion of the overall cost of producing an item. However, successful promotion increases sales so that advertising and other costs are spread over a larger output.

This paper analyzes the case study of Valley Community College (VCC), which is one of the oldest community colleges in the nation. Since its inception in 1910, it has grown and expanded to over 25,000 students, and a faculty of 1,500. The largest student population consists of 38% Latino, followed by Whites, Asian Americans, African Americans, and Native Americans. The College is now operating at maximum capacity and has a waiting list for each location. In order to meet the growing demands of the community, temporary classrooms have been setup in a large portable trailer. Due to the financial pressures of the institution, a new building is currently not an option. In addition, many of the faculty members and administrators are expected to retire, which is affecting faculty and staff workloads as well as tension of program accreditations. These concerns are impacting the entire campus morale.
In March of last year, Mr. Stauffer took his family advocacy in which I am included in it to Johnson County Community College field trip. Throughout the JCCC tour, I gained a lot of beneficial information. I was excited to attend because that’s the college I want to go to. The goal of this trip was to see different options related to scholarships, work-studies, and more importantly, the engineering field. Learning about the engineering options at JCCC and beyond has been a great boon to my career goal and a humongous step on the path I will take to get closer to success. Therefore, this field trip satisfied my expectations by learning the campus much better that will fulfill my assumptions towards JCCC. This field trip made me realize that
Grove City College is a private college in Grove City, Pennsylvania. The college would not complete Title IX compliance papers because the school did not receive any federal financial support directly and felt that it was not bound by Title IX. Even though the college itself didn’t receive federal money, some of the students who attended the college did. The Basic Educational Opportunity Grants (BEOGs), now called the Pell Grant, was a program funded with federal money to serve aspiring student with the financial aid they need to attend college. From the Department of Education’s view point, the school was receiving federal money, indirectly, in the form of student tuition that was being paid with federal money through the BEOGs. If Gove City College didn’t comply with Title IX, the Department of Education threatened to “initiate administrative proceedings to declare the college as well as the students ineligible for federal funding, including BEOGs” (Anderson & Osborne, 2008).

SWOT analysis: It is the most utilized tool according to O’shea & Connolly (2004), Germain (2013), Sahay & Kamar (2014) and Anna (2015). SWOT stands for the strengths, weakness, opportunities and threats of an organization. Strengths of the organization are what differentiates the company from its competitors or what is the organizations unique selling point (USP). Weaknesses of the organization are also important as it can help the university know what aspects of the organization to improve and what the institution should avoid. Identifying new opportunities gives universities a basis for growth. Opportunities allow company’s to gain a competitive advantage. Examples of opportunities are changing trends, changes in social patterns, lifestyle changes, change in government policy and change in technology. Threats in the industry are also important because they provide information about potential obstacles, what competitors are doing, changing technology, financial stability of the company and will also make an organization know if their weakness can threaten their business (Fathi& Wilson, 2009).
