Administration

Services to SCF Faculty and Staff

How you communicate your program or event to the public is as important as the message itself. The Communications and Marketing department serves as your central source of assistance and information for all marketing and public relations communications purposes. We are here to supply you with the collateral material that you need to best promote the College and your program.

News Releases

Communications and Marketing is designated to handle the distribution of any College-related news or promotions that you need communicated to the media. Fill out the Communications and Marketing Request Form to request a news release.

Speaking to the Media

The Communications and Marketing department is responsible for initiating, responding to and coordinating with the media on all communications related to College matters and/or requests to be on College property. The special assistant to the president will participate when appropriate. This includes reporter, editor, photographer and announcer requests from print, TV and radio broadcast and all other media. If you are contacted directly by the media on College matters:

  • Refer the reporter to the communications coordinator if the questions concern College policy, procedures, programs or operations.
  • Refrain from making statements as a representative of SCF unless coordinated by the communications coordinator.
  • Inform the communications coordinator about any requests to appear on a radio or TV station or as an identified subject of a printed news story.

Please contact  Jamie Smith with any questions regarding media relations.

Use of SCF Logo

The SCF logo is a legally registered trademark that requires the official service mark (SM) to be affixed to the bold "SCF" in all uses and applications. Communications and Marketing is responsible for the appearance and approved usage of the College logo. Advance written approval is required before each use of the logo. For more information or to request use of the logo, contact CAM staff.

Publications and Advertisements

Communications and Marketing is responsible for any promotion of College events, programs and special projects through the use of printed materials, advertising and promotional products. Fill out the Communications and Marketing Request Form to request the completion of any printed piece or ad. Contact contact CAM staff with any questions that you have about this process.

Photography

The use of photography is a compelling way to promote a program or event. Communications and Marketing chooses from its collection of photographs as well as stock photography for its publications, promotions and Web communication. We can also use photos that you supply if they are high resolution and of suitable quality. If you take your own digital photos or use someone else's digital photos, these guidelines should be followed:

Your photos

  • You must have a model release signed and on file if you use a photo with a recognizable face. Request the SCF Model Release Form from the marketing coordinator.
  • Give yourself photo credit. Example: Photo by John Doe.

Photos by someone else

  • If you want to use a copyrighted image, you must obtain written permission for use from the copyright holder.
  • If the photo is not copyrighted, but you know the identity of the photographer, give the photographer credit.
  • Make sure a model release is on file with the copyright holder, the photographer if not copyrighted, or in your files. Contact CAM staff with questions.

Web Communications

Each program or department is responsible for ensuring that its pages on the SCF website are kept up to date. An individual or individuals in each program or department should be assigned this responsibility. Please go to the SCF Web Publishing Guidelines page for policies that govern the look and content of SCF's website. Please contact CAM staff with any other questions about the website and its content.
