Making the Connection

HEMS offers a comprehensive communications service, Making the Connection, to help education leaders express the essence and spirit of their mission and accomplishments.

There is much good news in education today, and it deserves to be shared across the national landscape. But the busy schedules of education leaders at all levels can interfere with their ability to express achievements and share successes. The business of managing vast and complex educational enterprises—as critical as it is to the well-being of their institutions—leaves leaders with precious little time to reflect in writing on the meaning and value of their work.

Here’s where HEMS can help. Our writing and graphic design team, with deep experience in education and effective communication, makes it possible for you to express your dynamic vision to others who are eager to hear it and will certainly benefit from it.

The documents we produce communicate precisely the news you have to share, in words that suit your nuance and intent, presented in a format that exactly meets your needs. You might have in mind a commemorative monograph or concept paper, a compelling retrospective, an annual report, or an innovative brochure. It might speak to your local community, the general public, the national education establishment, or to your institution’s faculty, alumni, or prospective or current students. It can be produced on paper or in an electronic format easily accessible from your web site.

The process we follow is a highly collaborative one, which still makes minimal demands on your overloaded schedule. We listen, very carefully. We conduct interviews, gather data, and compile research—all at your behest and convenience. We are adept at identifying the words that capture what you want to say—and then arranging them into a model of effective written and visual communication.

For Andrew College, we produced a monograph illustrating how one small institution reinvigorated its mission and ensured its own survival by embracing a spirit of service.
