MarCom produces a variety of communications to articulate specific UITannouncements to MSU faculty, staff, and students. Each communication is written and edited for clarity and to the specifications that are needed for different types of audiences. Different forms of content that MarCom can generate are news releases, emails, print products, calendar events, MSU Today entries, and more.  

Forms of communication vary for different audiences. If a communication is meant for faculty and staff, we can suggest if your message is suited for an email sent to a listserv, a release that will appear on the UIT website news feed, an event or announcement featured in the tri-weekly MSU Todayemail and more.
