The Office of Marketing and Publications creates a wide array of internal and external communications – including multi-platform branding campaigns and enrollment materials – that help to raise awareness about the many opportunities available at the college, while informing and engaging our various communities. In short, we are responsible for sharing our story with the world.

Maintaining a strong brand is dependent upon conveying our story in a consistent and authentic manner. Accordingly, it is important that any usage of our logos, colors, fonts and protocols follow the official graphic standards of the college.

The Office of Publications produces the majority of the college’s publications; including the College Viewbook and a wide variety of institutional and enrollment publications. Any printed piece that will be viewed off campus should be reviewed by the Office of Publications for style, consistency and adherence to the Associated Press Style Guide and the College Style Guide.

Working With Us

The first step in working together on a communications project is to create a plan. Please submit a project worksheet indicating your needs (e.g. time frame, quantities, budget, etc.).

The project worksheet is designed to help you get started. Once you have completed it, please return it to Mary Feder, Director of College Relations and Publications.

For more information, call (631) 451-4256 or email federm@sunysuffolk.edu.
 
What Happens Next…
Once we agree to take on your project:
  • We will contact you to set up a meeting with our team.
  • At the meeting, we will make suggestions, ask you to provide necessary information, and help you determine whether new photography or text is needed.
  • From there we will provide drafts for you to approve and help you identify a printer.
  • If we have developed a template that fits your needs and if members of your staff are qualified to use it, we may steer you through a do-it-yourself process.
  • Publications can take much longer to produce than many people realize. The time it takes to produce a printed piece can vary depending on the complexity of the design and/or printing. As a rule of thumb, standard turnaround time is eight to ten weeks from receipt of your initial text by the Office of Publications to final delivery. If you are working on a new project, more time may be necessary. Please contact us as soon as possible.
  • Any printed piece that will be viewed off campus should be reviewed by the Office of Publications. If you have created your own publication for reproduction by the college Print Shop and need it checked for consistency and style or want to reprint a previously reviewed publication, please send it to Mary Feder, Director of College Relations and Publications. Once the Director of Publications approves the material, and you receive a confirmation of approval, you can request that the Print Shop reproduce the material.
  • To submit your print request, use the link to SCCC Print Services that is accessible on MySCCC under the Purchasing page. To access the page, log in to MySCCC; select Employee; then select Purchasing. From there you can access the SCCC Print Services Request under Printing Services at the bottom of the page. The print request must include the Director of Publications’ email approval, as well as the email sent to the Director of Publications containing the material for review as part of the attachments. If you encounter any issues submitting the print request, please contact printshop@sunysuffolk.edu.
