Stay connected

The ASU communicators community includes those focusing on marketing, communications, design, web development, photography, video, social media, writing, public relations and more. 

There are several opportunities to stay engaged and contribute to and learn about brand standards and guidelines as they evolve or as new guidelines are set.

From ASU-wide All Hands meetings, to topic-focused community meetings and Slack channels, there are plenty of opportunities to stay connected within the ASU communicators community and abreast of new tools and resources to support you in your work.
