We are excited to announce the creation of our departmental newsletter, Market Place. This newsletter is a valuable tool for providing you with updates regarding activities within the Marketing (MKTG) Department and in the VCU School of Business. In the 08-09 academic year, we will be highlighting the theme of communication by launching several new forums of connecting with our alumni, students, faculty, staff, and business collaborators. Our initiative to improve communications will build upon the School of Business' efforts to enhance its communication strategies as demonstrated by the recently re-vamped school website.

In addition to continuing our regular activities facilitating student learning, faculty research, and community partnerships. we will be doing many things to enhance our department's communication, student recruitment, and the curriculum. We invite you to contact us at mktgdept@vcu.edu with any feedback or ideas.
