2018-19 Monthly Message Themes

Jack Martin

As part of our efforts to maximize the effectiveness of our our marketing and communications projects across the University of Washington, we will be utilizing monthly message themes again during the 2018-19 academic year. As before, stories and posts that align with these themes are also more likely to be shared using central assets, such as the UW home page and the UW’s social media channels.

The themes for the 2018-19 academic year appear below and in this printable PDF. For more information, check out this blog post or e-mail Jack Martin.
