Marketing and Media Relations

Delta College business cards are available to Delta College faculty and staff members. An official Delta College business card template should be used and all printing should be done through Delta College Printing Services.

By acquiring Delta College business cards, you are agreeing to represent Delta College.

Guidelines

• • Only the official Delta College logo should be used. Additional logos, including Delta College secondary logos, should not be included.
  • Use your Delta College address, phone number and email. Additional phone numbers, such as a cell phone number, can be added if desired. However, personal email accounts or web addresses should not be included.
  • Students, including student workers, should not obtain Delta College business cards with their personal name.
  • The template should not be changed, added to, or altered. Any deviations from the standard template can be requested by contacting the Marketing department, B155.
  • The back side of the business card should only have Delta's mission statement.
  • The only colors used on Delta's business cards should be Delta green (PMS 3425) and Delta's secondary light green (PMS 360). No other color should be substituted or added.

Work directly with Printing Services to order your business cards.

Delta College ceremonies and events are the celebrations that bring life to our campus. Events are important components in Delta's efforts to build and maintain positive relationships with internal and external community members to generate understanding of and support for the college. It is important that all events are created, planned and carried out in an effective and quality way.

Tips for planning and promoting events

Work with the content lead in your Department/Division to post the event to the calendar. Contact Amanda Hammond at  amandahammond@delta.edu if you are not sure who your content lead is for your group.
   2. Reserve your room through roomscheduling@delta.edu.

The Marketing department oversees Delta College’s informational online spaces which are separated into three sites, each catering to a specific audience. It is important for all three sites to be accessible and represent Delta’s high standards. Our goal is to satisfy our online visitors’ reasons for coming to one of Delta’s websites and have them leave with easily accessible, reliable information. 

The recruiting website (www.delta.edu) provides relevant and compelling information about programs, people, unique-selling features and services in an accessible and engaging manner to the future student audience, as well as other audiences such as parents and the community.

Inside Delta is designed for current students and employees of Delta College and is also now publicly available. The goal of Inside Delta is to connect users with all of the information they need to be successful during their time at Delta.

See the Delta College Brand Standards for social media, video, website content and writing style guides.
