When displaying information and events on the reader boards…

• Keep content brief and to the point: who, what, when, where, and how
• Limit one announcement or event per slide
• Include a headline on each slide
• Each slide is only displayed for a few seconds, so text should be 18 point font or larger and bullets should be used for readability.

Campus Communications manages the content on the marquee and website. Submissions must meet the following criteria:

• Pixel size: 1232w x 440h (marquee)
• Files should be Ai, jpg/jpeg, or png files
• Text size must be 36 point or larger

With adequate notice and formal requests, the Office of Campus Communications can design print publicity or refer an outside vendor. District printing is also available.

Print publicity must be submitted to the Office of Campus Communications for approval and must include the Cypress College logo and web address.

The Office of Campus Communications uses the campus-wide calendar to inform students and our campus community of upcoming events, important dates, and holidays during which the campus is closed. When submitting an event to be added to the calendar, the date, time, description, and photo must be included.

Our @Cypress newsletter is a weekly electronic distribution of campus information. The newsletter is sent out every Monday during the semester. Submissions to the newsletter must be made no later than the Wednesday prior to the distribution.
