Communications

Advancing the University's reputation and brand position through engaging multichannel communications strategies.

Internal mass email requirements, guidelines and best practices

Email is an efficient, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly way to communicate with large groups of people. However, non-strategic use of mass email can reduce employee productivity and hinder the University’s ability to deliver critical messages. It is critical that mass email communications be conducted effectively and efficiently.
