Summer Camp 2023 is in the rearview, but the memories of what we learned from our four days together live on! This month, we’re taking one last look back at some of the most talked about resources and tips we gathered.

Designing with Canva was one of the most highly-rated sessions at Summer Camp and we have set up an enterprise team account with the ASU brand kit. Seats will be $149.00 in fiscal year 2024, and payment information will be required upfront. Check out the FAQs and indicate your interest using the Canva Sign-up Google Form.

Knowledge Enterprise has provided two new resources for those who are storytelling through the lens of research. The CXFEL toolkit is your go-to resource for content relating to the compact X-ray free electron laser. Planning ahead for 2024? The Biodesign 20th anniversary toolkit provides resources for communicators to celebrate 20 years of innovation coming out of the Biodesign Institute.

 

A key reminder from our friends that create personalized communications; whenever possible, pull the Preferred name field when reaching out to students, learners, staff, faculty, alumni and community members.
