Let’s Build Something Together

Whether you’re promoting an event, launching a new initiative or updating web content, the Communications team at Cal State Monterey Bay helps you connect with your audience in clear and meaningful ways.

We partner with campus departments to create strategic, student-centered communications that reflect the university’s brand and priorities. From marketing campaigns and media relations to web, design and photography, our team works collaboratively to support your goals and bring your ideas to life.

Communications and Web Requests

Partner with University Communications on communications and marketing projects that help you reach your audience and support university goals.

Submit a communications project request for:

  • Graphic design for print and digital materials
  • Brand and logo guidance
  • Advertising and promotional campaigns
  • Social media strategy and content
  • Access to PhotoShelter for approved images, icons and logos

Requests are reviewed and prioritized based on project scope, timelines and alignment with university goals. Providing complete project details helps our team evaluate your request and determine the appropriate support.

Submit a Project Request

University Communications partners with campus departments to identify or create photography and video that supports strategic marketing needs, including:

  • Student learning through hands-on experiences
  • Faculty mentorship and collaboration
  • Research, campus life and community partnerships
  • Other programs and initiatives connected to university priorities

Our goal is to create authentic visual content that helps prospective students imagine themselves at Cal State Monterey Bay and see themselves as part of our welcoming community.

Please note: University Communications does not provide routine event documentation or posed department or group photos. This type of content has limited long-term marketing value and generally does not meet brand standards for university website and marketing use. Photo and video coverage is limited to select major, university-wide events identified as institutional priorities.

We’re here to help. Use the form linked below to tell us what you need to communicate, who you need to reach and where the content will be used. We’ll help determine whether existing visual content, newly created photography or video, or another solution will best meet your needs.

Request Brand Visual Content Support
