Publications
 

Each year, our department produces more than 100 publications for many units of the college. Print materials support recruitment and registration activities; communicate the college’s programs and policies; promote programming and special events; and provide general institutional information. Each publication is created through a collaborative effort between Communications and External Relations and the respective academic and administrative department(s).

Our department has extensive resources to support the publications process, such as writers, editors, photographers, designers, and recommended printing and mailing vendors. We also provide resources to aid departments in self-producing certain types of publications.

Communications and External Relations-Produced Publications

Centrally-Funded
To meet the ongoing needs of the FIT community, Communications and External Relations produces many publications on a recurring basis. To see a list of our major recurring publications, click here. The costs for these publications are included in the Communications and External Relations budget and are created throughout the calendar year.  Each year during the budget planning cycle, new initiatives are identified by faculty, chairs, and directors through their deans and vice presidents. For more information on how to request funds to create a publication from the centrally allocated marketing budget, click here.

The first step in initiating a centrally-funded project is to meet with us to scope out the project and determine the level of funding needed to meet your goals. Funding for new projects should be discussed in the fiscal year before the project will occur. The request then goes to the dean or vice president of your unit. Once funding has been secured, you will begin the publications process.

Department-Funded
If you have funds available and need the office to produce the project, publications can also be produced using your department or project budget.

  • Flyers for distribution on the FIT campus
  • One-time event signage
  • Forms for internal college use
  • Fact sheets
  • Simple brochures for events limited to the FIT community
