Student Health Benefit Plan October Newsletter
Developed and wrote a seasonal email campaign promoting Boynton Health services and resources to Student Health Benefit Plan (SHBP) members.

I organized service information, crafted clear calls to action, and incorporated upcoming campus events to increase awareness and utilization of student health benefits. The newsletter was sent to 7,861 recipients with a 75.5% open rate.
