Communication support
If you have news or a story idea about research, teaching, student experience, or other good things to share from Arts or across campus, please contact Wendy Philpott or Elizabeth Rogers. We're also happy to help with any internal or external communication questions.

Free image resources
Please note that before you use any image online, you must know where it came from and any limits (such as time it's allowed to be used.)
Waterloo Photos is a repository of photos of buildings, campus scenery and people that the University owns. Please contact Elizabeth Rogers if you need access.
Images from free stock image repositories can be used for the short term, but the content should be removed when no longer needed. (For instance, if you are using an image to promote an event, remove the image when the event is over.)
