You asked, we listened!
In response to community feedback, the External Affairs team has launched a new suite of branded templates across a variety of applications to make life a little easier for the SMU community.
Since the official debut of the refreshed brand in June 2021, we’ve been collecting feedback from faculty and staff about what works, what doesn’t, and what was on their ‘wish list’ when it came to helpful templates.
The new updates and additions to the Templates and Guidance web page reflect this feedback, and will help us all to communicate professionally and consistently while effectively leveraging our memorable SMU branding.
From short and long-format professional reports in Microsoft Word, to email invitations and new, expanded PowerPoint presentation templates to printed posters and digital promotion graphics that can be created in Microsoft PowerPoint or Canva, the new templates address some of the most common requests we heard from the community.
In addition to the templates, you’ll find more tips and guidance, including a Best Practices Tip Sheet for Working with MS Office Templates, and even tips within the “Notes” in the PowerPoint templates.
We want your feedback!
