This toolkit supplements content from the University Marketing and Communications website.

Style Guide & Branding

Logos

Use the Mandel School version of the CWRU logo to anchor your department to the school and to the university. Do not alter logos in any way.

Publicity

Mandel School Publicity

Events Calendar

To list an event on the Mandel School's events page or event calendar, send the following information to mandelschoolnews@case.edu:

  • Event Title
  • Date
  • Time
  • Format (in-person, virtual or hybrid)
  • Location
  • Description
  • PD Hours/CEUs (if offered)
  • URL

Google Groups

The Mandel School has several Google Groups through which you can send important news and announcements. If you need to be added, removed or need to contact a Group to which you do not belong, contact mandelweb@case.edu.

Please consider BCCing your audience(s) when sending mass emails. BCCing your Google Group(s) prevents people from Replying All to the Group(s) and helps streamline our internal communications.

Media Walls

To add a flyer to the Mandel School/Center's electronic media walls, email mandelweb@case.edu with your .jpg image and the dates that it should appear.

The Mandel School sends out two internal newsletters on an alternating bi-weekly basis: the Mandel Memo to faculty and staff, and the Mandel Roundup to students. To submit your news for consideration, email mandelschoolnews@case.edu.

Media Relations

In mass communication, media are the communication outlets or tools used to store and deliver information or data. The term refers to components of the mass media communications industry, such as print media, publishing, the news media, photography, cinema, broadcasting (radio and television), digital media and advertising.

We work closely with the university’s media relations team to promote our news through print, broadcast and online media outlets. We help our media relations team identify compelling news and research stories, connect reporters with faculty experts, and help members of the media access photos and press releases.

Please contact Colin McEwen, senior media relations specialist at UMC, and copy mandelschoolnews@case.edu, if:

  • You have been contacted by a member of the media to serve as a source for a story
  • You have a story idea you think news media would be interested in covering
  • You have an achievement (research, scholarship, creative endeavor, career) you think the university should publicize
  • Your students have an achievement you think the university should publicize

Learn more about Media Relations.

Photos & Videos

Pictures and videos are crucial aspects of good storytelling, and we know just how much they can enhance websites and publications.

Images and B-roll

A collection of frequently requested CWRU images and official university logos are available in a variety of formats on our digital asset-management system. Case Western Reserve University must be credited for all still images. You can find Mandel School-specific photos here. 

Copyright-free B-roll footage is also available upon request from iStock by Getty Images. If you are in need of stock photos, please find the ones you want and email the photo ID numbers to mandelschoolnews@case.edu. Please note that we are not always able to download all requested images due to licensing restrictions. 

Video Services

Poster Printing

FedEx Office is now the only place on campus that can print posters. The standard poster size is 56” x 42”. This Mandel School poster template is correctly sized and contains the appropriate logo and placement. If your poster must meet other requirements, please incorporate the same logo and placement, and avoid large, solid blocks of dark colors - these tend to print darker than shown on-screen and can easily smudge after printing.

See the Research Posters page for more information on poster printing.
