Note: MarComm does not usually assist with internal school faculty/student meetings. Our event manager is happy to consult with and advise schools and areas of study on year-end events, however we do not have the bandwidth to fully plan and execute all of the year-end celebrations and awards events. Support for these will be handled on a case by case basis.

Our designers are able to help you create visually appealing materials that enhance and promote your work:

• Posters, flyers.
• Booklets, brochures.
• Digital graphics.
• Swag design.

Printing

Our team can assist you with printed materials through Printing & Mailing Services provided you have a budget and index to charge.

Please keep in mind that Printing & Mailing Services requires at least five working days for their print services. Additional charges may be incurred for any print job with a shorter deadline.

Distribution

Printed material can be delivered directly to you for distribution, or our student staff may assist with campus/community-wide distribution of printed materials with appropriate lead time.

Our team can assist in documenting your events, programs and people with high quality photos and video. Each photo and video request is considered on a case-by-case basis with preference given to opportunities that allow our team to share the story with as wide an audience as possible.

• Faculty and student headshots.
• Event photography.
• Video profiles of faculty and students.

Request Considerations

Before making a photo or video request, please consider the following:

• Lead time
  • Have you provided enough lead time? Please provide 1-2 weeks’ notice for photography requests. If you’re requesting a video, provide at least 1-2 months’ notice.
• Visually interesting
  • Is it visually interesting? A classroom lecture or presentation from a podium do not typically count as visually interesting (unless the speaker is widely known or famous in their field). 
• Editing time
  • Keep in mind that editing takes time. Editing a video can take weeks and photos can take several hours.

Model Release

The university requires individuals (including all OSU faculty, staff and students) to sign a model release form when they are included in university communications (e.g., featured in photography, videography or written material).

Electronic signing of model releases is available via DocuSign. Instructions for DocuSign model release forms
 

The university requires individuals to sign a model release form when they are photographed, including all Oregon State faculty, staff and students.

The marketing team does not currently assist with podcast production. However, there are some OSU resources available:

• OSU Faculty Media Center has a sound proof booth and it's set up for these types of projects: https://is.oregonstate.edu/fmc/explore-fmc-studios.
• Podcasting distribution services like Libsyn can help with publishing your recordings to all the major services (Apple, Spotify, etc.) for as low as $5/month.

Two OSU website options are available for content that doesn't belong on CLA sites (i.e. faculty information—full CV, long bio, etc.—sites, individual class content, etc.):

• OSU Wordpress: https://blogs.oregonstate.edu/ (CWS service desk can provide basic training/support).
• An OSU account-linked Google site: log into Google with your ONID, go to dashboard, choose “Sites”, pick a template, and you’re ready to build.

Both of these types of sites are free and affiliated with the University (either option will have oregonstate.edu in their URL). Both have the option to give different ONID users permissions to edit pages on the site.

There are other commercial options available (Reclaim, Squarespace, Wix, etc.), but they will not be affiliated with OSU and will include, at a minimum, monthly hosting fees as well as recurring domain name registration fees.

We do not help design or code non-CLA websites. If you want to link from your CLA bio page to your faculty site, submit a project request and we'll help you set that up.
