The College of Arts & Letters is home to forward-thinking and inspiring faculty, scholars, students, and alumni. The Marketing Office is responsible for sharing the world-changing and transformative work and research happening in the College. The team develops engaging print and digital graphics, executes thoughtful social media campaigns, drafts well-researched stories and releases, and designs user-friendly websites.
The Marketing Office also can help you navigate online attacks and trolling if those issues arise. More information is at Guidance to Support Faculty and Staff Targeted by Online Attacks.
Photo/Video/Media Permissions
When sharing media of others in social media posts, web pages, or other digital content, permission is required. That could be email communications where permission is given or could be through the more formal MSU Photo/Video/Media form that the College of Arts & Letters also uses.
