The University strives to use campus communications resources effectively. Email is an efficient, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly way to communicate with large groups. However, non-strategic use of mass email can hinder the University’s ability to deliver critical messages and reduce productivity.
Recognizing these expectations and concerns, the University has created these requirements, guidelines, and best practices to ensure all staff, faculty, and student email remains an effective form of communication. This document includes the following information:

To reduce the number of all staff, faculty, and student emails sent from Outlook, only approved senders will have access to distribute an email to an all staff, faculty, and student list, including all, staff, faculty, and student lists specific to MUAC (Marian University’s Ancilla College).
Those senders are identified and approved by the Office of Information Technology, Office of Marketing Communications, and the Chancellor of Marian University Indianapolis
The Office of Marketing and Communications utilizes Delivra email software to send mass email communications. Faculty and staff may be provided access and trained to utilize Delivra. To gain access and training, please submit a MarCom project request.

The Office of Marketing Communications (MarCom) manages Marian University's brand identity and coordinates the production and dissemination of marketing communications materials in collaboration with others across the university. MarCom works with others on campus to ensure that all communications serve the university's mission and goals.
Social media is personal interaction and communication that uses highly accessible and scalable technology tools such as Facebook, Twitter, etc. It also includes blogs and personal websites. At this time, MarCom administers the university's official presence on these social media sites: Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Flickr, and YouTube.
Marian University faculty, staff, and students should observe the same professional and behavioral standards online and when using social media as they would in person.
Guidelines for All Social Media Usage, Including Personal Sites
Guidelines for Institutional Social Media Usage
Although MarCom maintains the official university presence on several social media sites, you may find that your school, department, or program is better served by creating and maintaining its own site. Both will provide their own advantages and responsibilities, so consult with MarCom if you have questions and concerns. If you post on behalf of the university, any department or school guidelines must be followed in addition to the guidelines listed above.
The Marian University website will not link to any social media site that does not adhere to these guidelines. Marian University also reserves the right to disable and/or report any social media site or page that does not follow these policies or the Terms of Service as described by the entity. Any faculty or staff member's failure to follow these guidelines may result in discipline, including termination.
