Announcements are handled by the Office of Communications.

To create an award or recognition, use this Google Slide template. Here are the instructions:

• Once you have opened the template in Google Slides, select “file” and then select “make a copy.” A new slide will open, and you can make changes to the slide.

• Select the slide to edit the various text fields. For example, the field for the recipient’s name and the award date are both editable text fields. 

• Once you have all the text fields updated, select “file,” scroll down to “download as,” and select “PDF.” Your certificate should download as a PDF file. If you can’t find the file, check your downloads folder. 

• Now, either send the file to PiperXpress OR print the certificate yourself.

If you need a certificate to recognize the completion of a credit-bearing academic certificate program (e.g., paralegal certificate, TEFL certificate), please submit a project request or email mcs@hamline.edu. Requests must be made and all information supplied at least 10 business days in advance of when you need the certificate(s) in hand.

The visual brand guide provides guidelines that all Hamline publications—print and digital—are required to follow. The guidelines help convey Hamline's personal, welcoming nature and commitment to innovation in education. Providing a clear, consistent message helps Hamline's identity become more well-known and increases its reputation in the marketplace.

Just as the visual brand guide addresses Hamline's visual identity, the writing guide addresses the set of grammar and editorial conventions all Hamline publications—print and digital—are required to follow for clarity and consistency. The guidelines are based on the Chicago Manual of Style.

Business cards are available to staff and faculty. To order business cards, please visit Hamline's online ordering site. Start by setting up an account using your email address and choosing a password. Then, select from the menu items on the left to begin placing your order. Business cards may be ordered at any time during the year.

Digital signage is handled by the Office of Communications.

Please note: The marketing team provides general Hamline logos and logos for departments, centers, schools, and offices. All logos are created using a design template that has been approved and meets all Hamline brand standards. Generally, custom logo requests are not accepted. If there are special circumstances, the request must be made by a president's staff-level leader and will be considered by marketing leadership. Logos for products such as Canvas or Workday should be secured from the product provider; they are not something marketing can recreate.
