Widener’s Homecoming weekend had it all…Tailgate Village and Wild Zone, Flag and Wreath Laying Ceremony, Alumni Reunions, Statue Unveilings, the Homecoming Court Reception, a traditional Broom Drill, and finally, of course, the Homecoming Football Game. The schedule was jam packed and we were thanking the weather gods for a beautiful weekend to be running from event to event. As always, the MKP team made it possible to be everywhere at once!

We spent two days shooting at Saint John’s Prep on a pretty perfect Fall day recently. Spending two days on campus really allowed us to capture such a wide variety of photos and content that SJP will be able to use all year long. From music class to robotics, science labs to the teachers’ lounge, we captured it all, even a group of students running around campus with bug nets all in the name of science!

Annual reports are essential tools for highlighting key achievements, financial data, and strategic plans within an organization. While the data is important, the numbers only tell part of the story. To fully engage readers and showcase your organization’s mission, using professional photography is a game changer. High-quality visuals help create emotional connections, boost credibility, and ensure that your report resonates with stakeholders, clients and potential customers.

With September being National Alcohol & Drug Addiction Recovery Month, these images of Saint Joseph’s 7th Annual Recovery Conference take on an even greater significance.

From candid shots of peer connections to powerful moments during keynote speeches, our photography at this event aimed to showcase how the institution is shaping the future of student support and recovery on and off campus.

As a higher education marketing professional, you know that campus open houses are a prime opportunity to showcase your institution’s unique offerings to prospective students and their families. These events are crucial in the decision-making process, providing a firsthand experience of the campus environment and community, but are you maximizing your marketing efforts when it comes to advertising the event? When was the last time you evaluated your marketing strategies?

Traditions build a school and its legacy. Mount Saint Joseph Academy has its fair share of traditions. From Alumnae Induction, to Commencement, Freshmen Fest and the Golden Girls Luncheon (I’d like an invite to that please); they are always recognizing and celebrating their past and current students and I am here for it.

The transition from high school to college is a significant milestone in a student's life. This transition can be fraught with challenges, with one of the most prevalent being the "summer melt" phenomenon. Summer melt is the phenomenon where students who intend to enroll in college – who may have even made a deposit or attended a summer orientation – fail to matriculate in the fall, often due to various barriers encountered during the summer months. According to a study from Harvard University, the rates of summer melt range from 10 to 40% of college-intending students, meaning that hundreds of thousands of students are likely melting away over the summer.
