Knowledge sharing

We help communicators understand and embody the SFU brand through resources and services: our monthly e-newsletter, meetings and workshops, and the Communicators’ Toolkit.

Brand

We help bring the SFU story to life with a variety of guidelines, templates and brand assets. We also provide in-house design, video, web and photo services, or recommend outside vendors to incorporate SFU’s brand look and feel into your communications material.
