Our team has designed three university-approved templates to help you get started quickly and communicate effectively. Each template follows best practices and includes built-in CSUSM branding, so you can focus on your message—not formatting.
Use them as-is or customize them to fit your needs:
Newsletter Template – Announcements
Best for quick updates and important notices that need to be shared with your audience in a clear, scannable format.
Newsletter Template – Events
Perfect for promoting multiple events with images, dates, and action buttons all in one place.
Newsletter Template – Story
Ideal for storytelling and longer-form content that highlights campus news, initiatives, or student/faculty spotlights.
