Other Services provided by University Relations

Promotional Items
Remember that all university-related brochures (including those for academic departments) should be produced through our office. We can help you write copy, select artwork, schedule photography and design the publication (all at no cost to you). Please allow six weeks for completion and delivery of a brochure (depending on complexity). Call 4206 or for help. The Office of University Relations has designed an all-purpose Fort Hays State University folder for use in assembling packets of information. The folders can be obtained from the warehouse, 4239. Our office furnishes brochures and other university information for inclusion in the folders. If your area is hosting a meeting or you need packets for any reason, call the warehouse and then us at 4206 and let's decide what kinds of publications fit your needs.

Magazines and Newsletters
The Office of University Relations produces four major publications and assists with others.

• TODAY -- This is a monthly (September-May) internal publication for faculty and staff. Please keep us informed about your honors and activities so that we can include them in this publication.
• FOR PARENTS ONLY -- This publication is mailed to parents of all on-campus, full-time students during the fall and spring semesters. If you have information you think parents would want to know, call Kurt Beyers at 4480.
• KEEPING IN TOUCH -- This is a newsletter for retired faculty. It is published four times a year and contains information about retired faculty and news from the university. If you have an item you would like included, contact Suzanne Klaus at 5520.
• FHSU MAGAZINE -- This magazine is produced by the Alumni Association and the Office of University Relations. It has been highly popular since it was introduced in 1998 as a much-improved upgrade of the former alumni newsletter. It is published three times a year and mailed to members of the Alumni Association with the summer issue being mailed to all graduates. The publication contains information about the university, faculty, students and alumni. If you have something of interest to contribute to the publication, contact us.

Please remember that our office does not publish The University Leader. Students produce the official campus newspaper. If you have information for the twice-weekly paper, call its newsroom at 5301.

Advertising
Historically, the university has done very little advertising, partly because of budgetary restrictions and partly because advertising has not been needed. As competition increases in the higher education environment, there has been a corresponding increase in the need to advertise Fort Hays State University. Advertising funds remain extremely limited, but ideas for advertising opportunities may be presented to the Office of University Relations, to the Integrated Marketing Committee or to the Academic Marketing Specialist, 4090, who coordinates academic marketing.

We will help you design your brochures, flyers, poster, cards, programs, book covers newsletters and or anything else that will help promote your office or academic department.

Photographs of Faculty and Staff
We need up-to-date photos of you for publicity purposes. We'll pay for photos of you for our files. Call 4206 to schedule a sitting. It is important that we have the photos in our files so that we can respond quickly to media requests.

Speakers Bureau
Our office is contacted often by the media in search of faculty who can address issues of interest in the news, and by groups and organizations in search of speakers. Each fall we print a listing of "authorities" and "experts" in certain fields and give that list to the media and other interested parties. We distribute questionnaires each fall to collect names of speakers and information about their areas of expertise. If you wish to be included, please respond quickly and fully to the questionnaire.

Videos and Visual Aids
The Center for Teaching Excellence and Learning Technology offers assistance in producing promotional videos and developing visual aids for presentations. CTELT can be contacted at 4194. The Office of University Relations can assist you and CTELT with script writing and distribution.
