Communications

What We Do

Crisis Communications – We oversee external and internal communication during critical situations and support the College’s emergency response plan and procedures.

Event Promotion – We can assist Hendrix faculty and staff with creative design, development, and printing of College-related materials (e.g. ad design, banners, brochures, publicity, etc.). Email news@hendrix.edu to request promotional support from our office.

Graphic Identity (e.g., logos, etc.) – We uphold the College’s graphic and visual identity through consistent application of standards for the use of the Hendrix logos and imagery, as well consistency in content, design, and photography. For more information, visit the online Hendrix Brand Guide. 

H-Alert – Communications and Public Safety co-administer the College’s official emergency notification system that notifies users via text and email message of an emergency or potential emergency. All students, faculty, and staff are automatically registered on H-Alert but may opt out of the text portion of the alerts (though we'd encourage you to stay opted in!). 

Hendrix Today – The official source of campus announcements, deadlines, and events is distributed every weekday when classes are held. Use the Hendrix Today Submission Form to submit an item to Hendrix Today.

Media Relations – We distribute college news and information to local, state, and national media and manage the College’s relationship with media by assisting reporters with inquiries.

Photography – We coordinate new faculty and staff portrait photography for the Hendrix website and can assist with photography for College events or programs. Email news@hendrix.edu for more information.

Print Publications – We can assist with creative design, development, and printing of College-related materials (e.g., program brochures, event publicity, etc.).

Publicity – Contact us to discuss ways to publicize Hendrix events or news. Email news@hendrix.edu to request promotional support from our office.

Social Media – We oversee the College's official Facebook, Instagram, Flickr, X, TikTok, and Threads accounts. Check out the College’s social media guidelines for more information.

Video – Requests to record campus events should be directed to the Oathout Technology Center in the Student Life and Technology Center via HelpDesk@hendrix.edu.
