Communications Planning

Environmental Health and Public Safety is a strong and mighty division, and we are one of the many cogs that power NC State. Communications from any division, department, or unit should align with the branding of the NC State. The brand of NC State covers;

Print Media

Digital Media

Following the NC State brand will ensure that your messaging is consistent with NC State’s foundations with a personality of being Courageous, Innovative, Intellectual, and Purposeful.

Examples of departmental items that should be branded:

Channeling the Brand Widely – Tweet, Hashtag, Post, Like and Follow!

We have several EHPS related social media channels for engagement of our campus community including;

Strategic Initiatives uses Hootsuite to schedule, coordinate, and post social media. Strategic Initiative can help your unit to build a communication campaign.

You’d be surprised where the reach of NC State’s branding goes!

PhotoShelter

Did you know that NC State University has a photo repository of official university pics? PhotoShelter is a digital platform  hosting all of the official images of the university. These photos can be used for educational, marketing, and other noncommercial university purposes. This is a great resource for adding quality imagery to your campus communications and new images are always being added.

To download the images you will need to create a PhotoShelter account, and then email with the email you would like to have access.

Best practices for imagery are provided by the University, check them out!

It’s Happening!

The University is ramping up fast for fall! Here is a quick and fast approaching timeline for the fall semester.

  • Orientation sessions are in progress and will continue through August 3rd.
  • Move-in for on campus residents is August 17-20th, with roughly 10,000 students arriving during those dates
