University Communications

The St. Lawrence University website is built on the Drupal content management system. Individuals who need to maintain content for their department/program website(s) are required to take a training class before being given access to the website. 

If you need assistance with creating and/or editing existing content on the website, you can refer to our Website Management Resources or contact Senior Assistant Director of Digital Marketing and Assessment Jessica Kennedy.

Our Visual and Creative Strategy team oversees all official University publications and can help with a variety of projects.

To initiate a project, start by completing a Creative Request Form

Our team will build a timeline for production and printing and work with you throughout the process to get you a great piece on time and within your budget. Good things come with planning – please expect 6-8 weeks for content production, design, proofing, printing and mailing.

What if I already have a poster, I just want to get it printed?

Our team in Offices Services can help. Just fill out a print request form.

Visit the online order page at Dupli Graphics to place your order of branded materials. Please note, custom orders are not allowed.

While individual departments are still responsible for adding public campus events to the University’s Events Calendar, University Communications assists with broader promotion beyond the campus community. Please let our team know about your public campus event at least two weeks in advance to ensure enough time for distribution to local and regional media.

To publicize information to students, the SLUdent Life Portal (https://stlawu.presence.io/) serves as the primary medium of communication between the campus community and the student body. 

In order to submit an event or an announcement, you need login to https://stlawu.presence.io/ with your St. Lawrence network ID and password. Before you submit, you have the option to preview and edit.

If you have any questions, please contact Student Activities and Leadership at 315-229-5757 or studentactivities@stlawu.edu.

If you are a member of the media and would like to speak to either an official spokesperson for the University or a member of our faculty/staff, please contact Kim Asch, Director of Strategic Communications and Marketing and Content Strategy, at kasch@stlawu.edu. 

Using social media is just one way St. Lawrence University communicates and engages with fellow Laurentians, prospective students and their families, and others. Among all of the University's communications, social media is one of the most direct and conversational, which provides great opportunities for meaningful engagement. St. Lawrence University prides itself on being a strong and vibrant community that exists on campus and far beyond. Our social media should reflect this same sense of community.

If you would like some guidance on creating a social media presence for your program, contact Jessica Dodaro, Assistant Director of Marketing and Content Strategy, at jdodaro@stlawu.edu or 315-229-5586.

St. Lawrence University’s licensing program is a critical component of the University’s overall branding efforts. The program helps protect, promote, and support the St. Lawrence’s reputation and image as one of the top liberal arts universities in the country.

Any vendor or crafter creating apparel and merchandise bearing St. Lawrence’s protected name and/or marks, whether for on-campus departments, student organizations, or for third-party vendors to sell online or in-store, must be approved as an official licensee.
