Accessibility
The university is committed to ensuring access to its physical and digital spaces, programs and services. This hub can guide you to resources and support across campus.
Brand
This standard brand training is offered several times each year and is important for new employees or other staff and faculty who can benefit. It covers guidance for design, visuals, video production, internal trademark use, voice and tone and the editorial guide. As a reminder, if you plan to work with any new vendors, they must complete the brand training before their contracts can be approved.
Communications
These sessions are offered by University Communications and Marketing (UComm) regularly throughout the year and are tailored to the needs of NC State faculty and staff. They’re built to provide guidance, whether you’re a researcher trying to communicate your work to the public or a communications specialist interested in creating top-notch content. Topics covered include writing and editorial style, social media, crisis communication and more.
