Graphic Design

Our in-house designers create award-winning brochures, flyers, posters, postcards, magazines and more.

While we make every effort to accept and complete projects as quickly and efficiently as possible, quality design takes time and schedules vary depending on the scope of the project and our current work load. Reserve your place in the production schedule as early as possible. If you are part of an academic unit, please consult the marketing and communication colleague in your school.

Social Media

Social media provides us with unprecedented the opportunity to reach and engage large audiences.

While this makes social media a great option for marketing and for sharing news and information, it also increases the weight of the responsibility we have around what we post, how we engage and with whom we engage. We provide social media guidelines, consultation and internship opportunities and promote our primary social media accounts.
