Meet the Team: Christine Deane

I started working at the MU just over a year ago. Previously, I worked in public relations with an insurance company where one of my duties was writing and managing the company intranet. This position has given me the opportunity to further develop my Web communication skills.

I report to the departments of Web Communications and Admissions, and spend my time in both offices. My job title is student recruitment information specialist and I spend a lot of my time writing for and updating the Admissions web site. My other duties include writing and contributing where necessary to other student recruitment efforts on the Web; working with Admissions and Web Communications to develop and implement new ideas, pages and features on the Web; information architecture, which is something new and interesting for me; and acting as a liaison between the Web Communications and Admissions.

I work closely with the director and associate director of Admissions, as well as all of our admissions representatives. In the office of Web Communications, I work closely with Josh Nichols who helps make new Web pages a reality. With the new content management system, I’ve also been working a lot with Jason, who’s always helping me with my daily questions. While I’m on the subject, I think the new CMS is great, and the Admissions folks, as well as me, have all caught on quickly.
