Marketing & Communications Resources

The College of Computing Marketing & Communications team serves as the central hub for all media relations for the college. We are dedicated stewards of the GVSU College of Computing brand and strategic partners to every unit within the college, working to showcase and promote the remarkable work of our students, faculty, and staff.

We are continuing to build up our resources and plan to include things like a social media guide, photo gallery, and our crisis communication plan. If there are any resources you would like to see, contact us.

News stories

Have an exciting achievement, innovative project, or high-impact story from the College of Computing? Share it with us! Our team will review your submission and determine the best way to spotlight it — whether that’s featuring it on the College of Computing’s social media channels, publishing a news article, or pitching it to GVSU’s central news team for wider coverage.

Images & Photography

Capturing the story of the College of Computing goes beyond words. It’s about showcasing our people, spaces, and innovation in action. We’re looking to grow our library of authentic images, especially inside classrooms and research environments. If you have photos from teaching, labs, or project work, share them with us or request us to come onsite to photograph your work! Our team will review your submissions and may feature them on the College of Computing’s website, social media, or marketing materials.
