Featured Presentations

  • From Warm Fuzzies to Outreach Machines – Going Beyond the Basics to Get the Most from your Outreach and Engagement Efforts

    As part of the university mission, outreach is vital to the life of Ohio State, yet tracking can be tricky. What information do you track? How do you fit the needs for learning, communications, and the community? Learn how Pharmacy is working toward better tracking of Outreach and Engagement activities from students to faculty to staff, and using this information to create real-time data for reporting, funding, and communications needs.

    1. Going Beyond the Basics to Get the Most from your Outreach and Engagement Efforts
  • Sustainability at Ohio State

    Sustainability is a major topic on campus this year, i.e., COMPAS program and the proposed university sustainability goals. “Sustainability at Ohio State” will feature Don Hubin who will discuss the Ohio State Center for Ethics and Human Values (CEHV) and its various programs and proposed programs. He will focus on the COMPAS (Conversations on Morality, Politics, and Society) program and, especially, the 2015-16 Sustainability COMPAS.  Nikia Reveal will discuss how to represent sustainability initiatives within the university’s master brand. She will walk through visual toolkit elements, tertiary identification and how to tap into the university’s sustainability awareness campaign. Gina Langen will discuss a developing Campus Sustainability Awareness Campaign. She will give an overview of what efforts have already been completed and what ideas are in development or under consideration. Through this session, communicators will realize and be aware of how they can communicate sustainability needs and directives to their units.

  • Visual Storytelling – Taking and Choosing Compelling Photographs for your Ohio State Communications Projects

    Everyone has a state-of-the-art digital camera in their pocket these days, but not everyone knows how to use it. Whether you’re working with your smartphone or a digital SLR, learn how to create images that effectively communicate and don’t distract from your Ohio State unit’s message. We’ll briefly discuss the technical aspects of operating a camera, but focus on composition and post-processing workflow.

  • Ohio State’s social media successes and lessons: Covering the #OSU2020Vision and more

    President Drake’s 2020 Vision is a driving force of the work happening in University Communications. How do we tell those stories across our different platforms, and especially on social media? We’ll discuss how the University Communications team (and the university as a whole) rallied around President Drake’s mission — from the site launch to the social media to the stories to support it. We’ll talk about “wins” around this big initiative, as well as some successes and lessons learned in our general social media efforts throughout the past year.
