Scope and Contents

From the Collection:

The Division of Communications collection documents the administration and functions of Eastern Michigan University’s Division of Communications (DC). DC includes the following departments: Integrated Content, Media Relations, Social Media, Web Services, and Marketing. DC oversees EMU’s branding and overall communications strategy, website creation, logo usage, social media policies and procedures, and educates campus on digital content software. The media relations team writes and distributes content about faculty research, student accomplishments, and general EMU initiatives to local, state, and national media outlets. It also helps manage crisis communications for the university, responds to media inquiries, provides media training to faculty and administrators, and advises the colleges on communication strategies. The documentary-style photography and videography capture the Eastern Michigan culture both inside and outside the classroom. DC also creates and updates EMU letterhead and business card formats.
