UKIAH, Calif. – Mendocino College Foundation Executive Director Katie Fairbairn has been tapped to provide public information and marketing assistance to Mendocino College, announced Superintendent/President Arturo Reyes.

According to Reyes, “The college has embarked on the ‘Enroll 3100 Now’ campaign which if achieved ensures our current level of funding from the state. It is critical that we register an additional 270 full time students at Mendocino College over the next four months to meet our goal.”

Fairbairn has acted as the primary spokesperson for the foundation. “She and her staff have done an exemplary job of providing public relations and marketing materials about the foundation. The college needs that same level of support, and the foundation’s executive committee agreed at their regularly scheduled meeting on Tuesday. The agreement allows Fairbairn to spend approximately 40 percent of her time providing support to the college,” stated Reyes.

A graduate of Ukiah High School, Mendocino College and Sonoma State University, Fairbairn is no stranger to Mendocino College having worked there over 18 years.  

Born, raised and educated within the community, she embodies the values, culture and tradition of the community, said Reyes.
