Info for Faculty & Staff
Our College’s Communications Team would love to help our faculty and staff with promotional needs. Please find information about how to engage our services below.
SharePoint Site: Find Resources!
We are populating our Communications SharePoint site with resources (including photos from events, faculty and staff headshots, logos, PowerPoint templates, letterhead, and other templates).
This is a work in progress, but it is a good thing to bookmark as we will be adding to this constantly.
Promotion Requests
Submit requests for promoting events, opportunities, and deadlines to the campus community through our survey: https://bit.ly/COSSPPpromo.
Timelines:
- If you need graphics designed:
Turn in this form (https://bit.ly/COSSPPpromo) 4 weeks before the date of your event (to allow for design and 2 full weeks of promotion).
- If you have approved graphics (created with the College’s Canva Pro)
Turn in this form (https://bit.ly/COSSPPpromo) 2 weeks before the date of your event. View this short tutorial to learn how to get started and access the library of templates. Visit our SharePoint for login information.
We understand that sometimes you may not have the info needed to complete this form in its entirety. Please provide the information you can and email rebecca.sage@fsu.edu with updates as you receive them.
Revisions:
When you are provided with a draft for review, you must collect all edits before submitting revisions. Edits should come in one email and clearly state what should be changed for the final product.
If you require more revisions after the first round of edits, the design will be published as a template, and you can make adjustments from there.
Faculty & Staff News
Faculty and staff should email rebecca.sage@fsu.edu directly to provide information about publications, research, honors and awards, grants, service involvement, media mentions, and any other notable items as they happen.
Student & Alumni Feature Stories
Students and alumni are encouraged to submit information through this survey to be considered for a COSSPP feature story: https://bit.ly/COSSPPspotlight.
If you are aware of an alum who has received an honor/has done something significant, email rebecca.sage@fsu.edu with the information. We may be able to amplify the message without requesting the alum complete our feature story survey.
Research News Stories
Faculty, staff, and students in the college who would like to submit for a research spotlight may fill out this survey: https://bit.ly/COSSPPresearch.
COSSPP Student Monthly Newsletters
We send newsletters to all active students each month. Submit information for inclusion 5 business days before the first of each month (the first newsletter will go out September 1, 2022, so the deadline for inclusion would be August 25).
Please include the following information at a minimum:
- Headline
- Date
- Time
- Location
- Details
- Relevant links
Information submitted through our COSSPP Promotion Request Form (https://bit.ly/COSSPPpromo) will automatically be slated for inclusion if the final work products are completed by the monthly deadline (5 business days prior to the first of the month).
*Note, we will also send these emails to all full-time faculty and staff to keep our team abreast of the information students are receiving. If any of your staff do not receive the email because they are OPS or another designation, please feel free to forward these to them.
Resources & Support
Photos, Logos & Business Templates
We are populating our Communications SharePoint site with resources (including photos from events, faculty and staff headshots, logos, PowerPoint templates, letterhead, and other templates).
This is a work in progress, but it is a good thing to bookmark as we will be adding to this constantly.
Canva Pro for Faculty & Staff
The college has Canva Pro for all faculty and staff in the college use. Our team has developed a library of templates to choose from, as well as have uploaded swatches, fonts, and images for your use.
View this short tutorial video to learn how to get started and how to access the library of templates.
Email rebecca.sage@fsu.edu to request login information if you do not already have the login.
Limited Photography Services
Our Communications Team would like to accommodate all requests for photography; however, availability is dependent upon staffing and workload.
Please encourage faculty and staff to email rebecca.sage@fsu.edu with the request as soon as possible so we can try to calendar it or provide alternative suggestions if we are unable to fulfill the request.
Info for Student Groups
Florida State University’s Registered Student Organizations (RSOs) that have programming of interest to social sciences and public policy students are encouraged to share information with COSSPP’s Communications Team and with students using the following avenues.
Monthly Newsletter
The college sends a monthly newsletter to students. To submit your event for inclusion, send full event details (below) to cosspp-comm@fsu.edu by the 25th of the current month for the next month.
- Event title:
- Date:
- Time:
- Location:
- Registration info:
- Short description of event (1-2 sentences min):
- Link to the event online (if applicable):
Social Media
Tag @FSUCOSS on social media to help us see your important announcements and events.
Bellamy TVs
Air time on Bellamy TVs is not guaranteed as the primary function is for the college and departments to promote programming to students, faculty, and staff. TV slides must be designed to be 1920x1080px. If your design was created in Canva, share it with cosspp-comm@fsu.edu so our team can access the design if adjustments are needed. Then email rebecca.sage@fsu.edu with the direct link to the design.
Bellamy Posting Boards
Please hang your flyers on the posting boards around Bellamy conscientiously. Don’t cover up others’ flyers, take down old postings, and keep things looking neat and tidy so viewers can see your information. Bring your own push pins or use those that are there. Staples are not preferred because they damage the board.
Questions
If you have questions, please email COSSPP’s Director of Communications Rebecca Sage at rebecca.sage@fsu.edu.
