Mid's Consumer Information Disclosure requirements are an important annual compliance procedure. There are many pieces of information that must be kept current, and the responsibility for this task lies with each and every member of the Mid team.
The Strategic Communications Team supports compliance by completing website edits, writing and distributing communications, creating print materials, promoting campus events, etc., and ensuring that the College's overall voice and appearance are consistent with brand standards.
Deans and Department Leadership from across the College are responsible for the accuracy of the content within their respective areas. These requirements are complex and require content experts to provide Strategic Communications with the details needed to complete needed updates.
