All print and digital materials used by your unit should adhere to GVSU's brand standards. Below you'll find templates and resources to help you produce high-quality materials that follow GVSU's brand guidelines.

As of May 2020, in order to reduce printing costs and save paper, Grand Valley issued a directive to move all printed communications to digital formats. All exceptions must be approved by a vice president or dean.
