Strategic Initiatives Connections – September 2024

Are you looking for branded stationary or a refreshed PowerPoint template? We have a few options for you!

For quick print and customizable templates, check out this folder in Google Share Drive. Here you can find letterhead, an SOP template, and a new PowerPoint template to add some color to your presentations. There are also some easy-to-print templates for thank you and anniversary cards that you can customize. Everyone should have access to view these templates, but you cannot edit the original file. Just go to File > Make a copy to get started!

If you are looking for professionally printed materials, such as business cards, you can order them through Marketplace. Additional branded materials can be found through the University’s brand toolkit. Here you will find logos, stationary templates, the university photo database, and more!

This month we will be hosting a 30-minute Level Up! session that will give an overview of some basic features and new tools available to you for video conferencing. Programs covered will include Zoom and Google Meet, and topics discussed will include scheduling meetings, recording meetings, viewing participants, and interactive features such as polls and whiteboards. Expect to see a calendar invitation soon and attendance is optional!

It’s a new semester and a great chance to look over your courses in REPORTER to make sure that content and contact info are up-to-date. If you’d like to make an update and need assistance from SI you can submit a support ticket here. OIT also offers a knowledge base about all things REPORTER (https://support.reporter.ncsu.edu/) which is a great resource if you have any questions about managing your courses.

Need help from the Strategic Initiatives team? EPSI has a services page that helps you find the right support ticket to get the assistance that you need! The services page is designed to help you report issues with hardware/software, websites, and training, but it also serves as a convenient hub to perform other business tasks such as making purchase/surplus requests.

Volunteer Opportunities

If you’re looking for a great way to give back without dedicating time, consider going through your wardrobe and donating items that have been hanging around for awhile. The Wolfpack Styled Professional Clothing Closet accepts donations of professional clothing to equip students with the professional attire necessary for interviews, career fairs, and their first week on the job. If you have professional attire in good condition (clean, without damage, not outdated, and clearly labeled sizes), please contact the Career Development Center at career-development@ncsu.edu.
