Document Preparation Workshops

Learn how to enhance your NMSU publications in these workshops offered by Marketing Services. Everyone is invited, regardless of skill level. These workshops aim to encourage integration of NMSU communications so that a unified look - instantly recognizable as NMSU - is achieved across all media, and that all communications build on the value of NMSU. These introductory workshops will present information in the following three areas:
