How to Send Campus Communications
Getting the right message to the right audience at the right time is essential to effective campus communication. To help make that process easier, UIS Marketing & Brand Strategy has launched a Campus Communications Form that serves as a single starting point for campus-wide communication requests. This developed form replaces the former Campus Announcements submission process and helps ensure messages are delivered through the most effective communication channels.
