Social Media Services

Social media presents an opportunity for individuals and institutions to communicate in meaningful ways. Westfield State University embraces social media as a tool for connecting with students, faculty, staff, alumni, and other groups, and we encourage members of our community to incorporate social media into their programs.

With social media, communication takes place in real-time, which makes it unique among other forms of communication. Many departments, offices, groups, and organizations at Westfield State maintain their own social media accounts, and the University Marketing Department manages the school’s main accounts on most major social media platforms.

All campus groups can take advantage of the university’s main social media channels to promote a program or event. Please take some time to review our Social Media Guidelines.

In the days or weeks before the event, please fill out a Marketing & Communication Project Brief.

Photography Resources

Photography allows us to capture moments that reflect our brand and tell our story. When selecting images, it’s essential to consider their authenticity and relevance in representing our community.

A diverse collection of photographs showcasing the University, our students, faculty, and staff is readily available on SmugMug for your use.
