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.

Partner with University Communications to identify or create photography and video for university website and strategic marketing needs.

Submit a visual content request for:

  • Help finding existing university photography or video
  • Helping you execute a shoot to gain brand content featuring learning, mentorship, research, campus life, or community engagement
  • Editorial, profile, executive, or leadership visual content
  • Faculty and staff directory portrait information

Please note: University Communications team can help you create brand content if it doesn't already exist. We do not generally provide full event coverage or documentation or posed department or group photos — this content has limited long-term marketing value, quickly becomes outdated, and typically does not meet university website and marketing needs.

Requests are reviewed based on communication goals, intended use, institutional priority, timing, and available resources.

University Communications provides support for website access, technical issues and changes that require assistance beyond Editor or Publisher permissions.

Submit a web request for:

  • Website access and permissions
  • Updates to Authoritative Content or other content that Editors and Publishers cannot access
  • Structural, template or other website changes requiring University Communications support
  • Uploading accessible PDFs to the Media Library
  • Website troubleshooting and technical support

Web requests are managed through Optimize for tracking and resolution.

Employee Information

Names, titles and departments should match information in the university’s HR system. Contact Human Resources to request corrections before placing an order.

Available materials include:
