Reminder
The College has launched a new template system, Lucidpress, for users to create a wide variety of materials within the brand. This system provides pre-approved templates for selected users to update with content while still maintaining branding consistency. Users can focus their efforts on content and imagery while the system maintains the branded components, including fonts, colors, logos, and layout elements.
Lucidpress is accessed through a limited number of user licenses. If you have questions about access or licenses within your area, email communications@cwi.edu.
For more information about the new brand and access to resources, visit the Communications and Marketing Resources page on myCWI. Email communications@cwi.edu with any questions or additional assistance.
