Nursing Advancement Team

Have questions around media, events, marketing and communications, development and alumni projects? We are available to help.

Here's how we can help you

  1. Do you have an upcoming event?

    Are you bringing visiting scholars to campus or hosting guests on behalf of the Faculty of Nursing? The NAT Office may be able to assist if there is a nursing focus and team availability.

  1. Need nursing swag?

    We occasionally have items with the UCalgary Nursing logo that faculty/staff can offer to visitors to the faculty. These may include pens, notepads, hand sanitizers and post-it notes. Quantities are limited and items vary in size and value.

    Should you require more items/something different and have a budget, please let us know and we can discuss options.

    Please make your request at least 10 working days in advance of when you require the items.

  1. I want to build my social media network

    UCalgary Nursing is currently on TwitterFacebookInstagram and YouTube. There is a University of Calgary institutional LinkedIn account.

    If you would like to start or grow your social media presence and want some pointers on best practices for social media, our Digital Communications Specialist can help. Please contact Lynda Sea before you create any new social accounts so we can discuss your social media strategies and optimize how you utilize these tools.

    There may be existing channels for your content. We are happy to introduce you to the numerous platforms within the faculty where your messages can be shared on social media. As a good first step, please review this document which outlines the University of Calgary's guidelines on social media.

  1. Do you require design and creative services?

    Some posters and brochures can be handled by University Relations' Creative Studio team. There are also a list of approved external vendors that our team can provide to you, who can offer photography, illustration and additional creative services at a cost. You will be asked to create a project brief that will include details such as:

    • Audience for your print materials
    • Content and details for the collateral
    • Quantity required, deadline for final delivery
    • Budget

    Please contact Karen Cook, Senior Manager, Communications if you have any additional questions.

  1. Want help with promotion?

    We have numerous channels for marketing and promotion of events:

    • UCalgary Nursing web event calendar
    • Electronic Bulletin Boards (EBBs) in Professional Faculties Building 
    • Social media (Facebook events, posts)
    • University of Calgary web event calendar (this populates in the daily UToday emails)
    • The Pulse internal newsletter
    • Points of contacts at other faculties, departments and units across campus

    Please contact Karen Cook, Senior Manager, Communications with the details of what you'd like to advertise and to what audience. That will help us determine what you need and where we can distribute details about your event.

  1. Want to share your news with nursing or campus community?
