We are responsible for maintaining the College’s branding across all platforms and following Texas A&M University brand guidelines in the use of logos and developing physical and virtual collateral. Our work should enhance the College’s professional reputation, help enroll more students and elevate our research, programs and events across the campus and beyond.

CEHD MarCom News Guide

News Guide Navigation
Our marketing team appreciates you informing us of your achievements, awards, grants or events. Your information plays a pivotal role in sharing the great news about our College across campus and beyond.

This news guide is a general outline of how we approach promoting your accolades, using our expertise and one or several of our channels and methods to communicate our news. The guide is not set in stone and there can always be exceptions. We are also open to your suggestions and welcome any discussion on our methodologies.

Research Stories

We partner with Texas A&M University’s MarCom team to get stories about our research out to as large an audience as possible.

TAMU MarCom is looking for “Signature Stories” of faculty/researchers who work to solve a problem or create a solution for our state, country or world. Stories of happenstance in a lab, leading to a world-changing discovery. Stories of cross-department collaboration leading to a breakthrough. Stories of Impact.

This type of research can be profiled early, then revisited for months or years to keep media updated, thus increasing name recognition for our College and by default Texas A&M.

We have two avenues to pitch your stories:

Associated Press Campus Insights

This video portal is an opportunity to easily connect academic experts with news organizations around the world. We pitch various faculty to TAMU MarCom every month and, if chosen, their team will come and film a short and informative news video providing clarity and context around emerging, timely or breaking news.

News Release

We can share research stories with TAMU MarCom, who have the expertise to understand if and where a story might resonate. They can pitch these stories of impact to mainstream and niche publications that might be interested in sharing them with their audiences. These stories may not be as timely but should have a unique angle or perspective.

Whether or not media sources pick up these stories, we will consider publishing them at the College level for our Newsletter and Transforming Lives Magazine.

Honors & Recognition

These announcements can be about awards or professional appointments across TAMU, the TAMU System, the state, region and nation.

If your recognition is related to Teaching, we will promote it through our College and/or Departmental Social Media channels as appropriate. We will also add your accolade to our digital monitors.

If your recognition is related to Research, we will promote it through our College and/or Departmental Social Media channels as appropriate and tag the VP for Faculty Affairs office. We will also send the information to be included in the Research Bulletin published by the VP of Research.

For both Teaching and Research recognition, we will create an appropriate write-up that will appear on our website. We will also mention your recognition in Transforming Lives Magazine, our digital monitors and possibly our Newsletter.

Research Grants

We will do a short write-up providing context and intent of your grant and promote the news through our Social Media channels as appropriate. We will also include the grant on our digital monitors and write a blurb to be shared with the VP of Research’s weekly bulletin.

In addition, we will ask that you follow up with us when your research is finished so we can create an appropriate story focused on impact. That story will appear on our website and be promoted on our Social Media channels.

Media Mentions

Did you share your insights with a media station or publication? We can promote it through our Social Media channels as appropriate and send a blurb to the Research Bulletin published by the VP of Research.

Conferences/Professional Events

We want to promote the reach of our faculty’s influence, and that includes when you are presenting your research at a state, regional, national or global conference. Since we often cannot attend these conferences ourselves, we highly encourage you to share photos and/or videos of you at these events so we can promote them on our Social Media channels as appropriate.

CEHD Events Calendar

We ask that you fill out our Submit Calendar Event so that we can add your event to the official CEHD Calendar.

Once we have your event on the calendar, we will support its success through Social Media, our Digital Slides and our Newsletter as appropriate.
