Communications Toolbox

Help build the UB School of Social Work's brand and reputation with our many constituents.

This toolbox will enable you to create communications and execute campaigns that best showcase your program, research or unit. It includes custom content and resources for the School of Social Work, created based on the most frequently asked questions we receive.

Some links will require you to validate that you are a member of the school or log in to a shared UB Box folder. 

Faculty and Staff: Reach out to tell us about your research, stories about community partnerships, interesting class projects and more.

How we can support you

Our team works to enhance and expand the reputation of the School of Social Work by leveraging UB's brand strategy and visual identity, ensuring consistent messaging, and highlighting the accomplishments of our students, faculty, staff, alumni and partners.

With limited bandwidth, we prioritize planned, strategic school-wide and university-wide initiatives. The source and level of service we can provide you will depend on skill availability, bandwidth and deadlines, and resources.

Contact us as early as possible to discuss your needs:

Please be sure to consult with us for support on any initiative that:

  • Announces a new School of Social Work program, product, institute, service, etc.
  • Has high public visibility or will be sent:
    • Outside of UB
    • To all UB students, faculty and staff
  • May generate or heighten the school’s visibility in conversations about inflammatory topics
  • Responds to constituents' concerns or may be seen as the “official” position of UB or the school
  • Involves paid media or advertising
  • Requires outside vendors for graphic design, print, etc.
