Fun fact: They do. Colleges and universities even take it one step further and have marketers who just focus on reaching prospective students. That\u2019s what I do, and I am part of a team that\u2019s sole job is to market to people interested in applying to the university. We work closely with the university\u2019s admissions counselors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It took me an embarrassingly long time to realize that this\ntype of marketing was a thing. It\u2019s still a relatively new idea to me, and this\nblog is probably going to end up being a super unpolished look at life at UMass\nLowell. So, please, look the other way if I sound like an idiot\u2014this is as new\nto me as it is to you.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Stick around, and you\u2019ll get a behind the scenes look at UMass Lowell. You\u2019ll get an inside look as I attend campus events, eat food in downtown Lowell and interact with the students who go here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>TL;DR: This is me figuring out what\nUMass Lowell is all about, exploring the Lowell community and giving you a peek\nbehind the curtain at the admissions process.<\/em><\/strong><em> &nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi, I\u2019m Liz, and I\u2019m the person behind this blog.
