Currently, Jake has returned to CU's Strategic Communications and Marketing team as a Web Content Specialist, where he is a content lead on the university's web consolidation project, sunsetting 3 legacy websites into one official university website. He helps curate and optimize digital content, implement SEO strategies, and collaborates with cross-functional teams to enhance content development and quality assurance. 

Jake will continue working with the StratComm team as a freelancer, until he lands a full-time position with the university or another company, or until the consolidation project ends in June.

Jake's contract with CU ended on July 31st, 2024.

Commonwealth University, comprised of Bloomsburg, Lock Haven, and Mansfield University comes together to provide affordable education at multiple locations across North Eastern Pennsylvania.

As part of the Northeast Integration, Commonwealth University will be merging its 3 legacy websites into one official website located at commonwealthu.edu. An update on the project and our efforts is shown below:

Jake works closely with two StratComm team members, Stephen Filipiak, associate director of web and digital strategy and Ryan McNamara, senior director for university marketing and brand management. They assist Jake through content development, content practices, and educate him on the process of web project management and digital communications. He is very fortunate to be able to assist them not only with inventory and content preparation, but also be able to assist the team as a person who oversees various areas of the consolidation process, specifically migrating the administrative offices into the office directory.

Currently, the team is developing content and preparing for launch at the end of June Once we access the new site, we will begin importing all content into the system and prepare for launch this Summer.
