Communications Tools
We’re all working together on the 21st Century Scholars program, and we want our organization-specific communications to be as consistent as possible, with the same look, feel, and messaging. These resources are designed to help.
If you have questions about how to use these materials or need additional items you don’t see here, contact our Communications team. We’ll continue to add materials as they are created!

- Created by the Indiana Commission on Higher Education, this Style Guide for its 21st Century Scholar materials includes PMS colors, typeface direction, and more. This is useful for partner organizations who have access to professional designers and want to create additional materials to promote 21st Century Scholars in St. Joseph County.
COMMUNICATIONS PLAN ITEMS
