Education Roundtable: Building and Maintaining a Crisis Communications Plan

In this month’s Education Circle Roundtable, we’re focusing on a critical, and often tested, part of every institution’s communications strategy: crisis preparedness.

From weather-related closures to public safety incidents to reputational risks, colleges and universities are expected to communicate quickly, clearly, and consistently in high-pressure moments. But how do you build a crisis plan that’s truly actionable when time is limited and the stakes are high?

This is not a webinar. It’s a peer-led, real-time discussion created for communications, marketing, and public affairs professionals working in education.

What we’ll discuss: 

• What key elements are part of your institution’s crisis comms plan?

• How do you balance speed, accuracy, and tone in urgent situations?

• What’s your team’s approval process — and how do you streamline it under pressure?

• How often do you revisit or test your plan, and who’s involved in that process?

This roundtable is part of Meltwater’s Industry Circles program. These are client-only spaces inside mCommunity where professionals in similar sectors connect, collaborate, and learn how others are using Meltwater to solve day-to-day challenges.
