We generate content and distribute through a variety of channels. We are always interested in tips about faculty, staff, student and alumni stories. Please submit those to marketing@emu.edu.

We design print materials for external audiences.

For internal audiences, we provide Marq (formerly Lucidpress) templates, logos and advice to empower departments to also prepare their own materials that meet EMU brand ID standards. 

Please note the EMU editorial style guide for all public communications before creating your own pieces.

The marketing department is responsible for the university website. Please complete a web request form for edits to webpages.

Some departments and offices have web editors who maintain department-related web pages within the CMS, or content management system.

We use Campaign Monitor and MailChimp for email campaigns and can provide assistance with your questions.  See our resources section for more information on creating and using an email campaign system.

Marketing staff take cues from the university web calendar. EMU faculty and staff are expected to add program event information to the online calendar system via 25Live. 

Learn more about our events calendar usage and also how to best promote your event!

Our department manages images for EMU social media, print and web use. Submit a photo request to work with a photographer, to review our stock of EMU photos, or for any photo-related question. 

We produce two issues annually of our alumni magazine, Crossroads, and one issue per year of Peacebuilder, the magazine of the Center for Justice and Peacebuilding. Both also have digital editions.
