Graphic Design
The Dean's Office supports graphic design projects that support all-of-school communications and high profile initiatives, including print and digital alumni publications including the magazine, undergraduate and graduate recruitment brochures, the Maxwell School outward facing website at maxwell.syr.edu, school-wide social media channels, and other broad-based materials and channels.
The Maxwell School does not have an in-house print graphic designer. If you need assistance with a print design project, we recommend checking first to see if a template is available through either the school or the university's Answers pages. Commonly requested items include:
If you need additional assistance with branded materials, we are available to review and to point you to recommended vendors for support. The Maxwell School works frequently with Bob Wonders on banners, fliers and branded items.

The Maxwell School created an ad hoc committee of volunteer staff to help identify internal communications gaps and propose solutions. If you would like to join the Internal Communications Committee, please send an email to MaxComms@syr.edu and we will route it to the members. Similarly, if you have a suggestion for material for inclusion on Answers, we will share it with the committee.
