Email Letterhead
Western uses many different bulk email systems (Slate, Mail Chimp, Fire Engine Red, and others). The following is an example of a letterhead-styled email template first developed for use in Admissions, but it can be used by anyone who is sending bulk HTML emails.
The compiled HTML version has all the CSS inlined and the HTML has the HTML and CSS separate.

Canva Templates and Tools
Where Is Design Conductor?
WWU retired the Design Conductor template management system at the end of 2023.
We are transitioning to a set of new brand management solutions that will offer our community a more flexible, user-friendly experience and will no longer be creating new user accounts for the Design Conductor platform.
During this transition period, the University Marketing will be available to assist with any questions or concerns you may have. Email creative@wwu.edu with your questions, comments, and requests.
Canva Brand Templates
WWU now offers general branded templates in Canva for campus partners.
Canva is an online design and publishing tool that utilizes templates, allowing users without design experience or tools to build beautiful and customizable graphics, anywhere from digital slides, to printable, multi-page documents, and more.
Any campus partner can use the WWU-branded templates with either a free Canva account or your department's Canva Pro account. For those new to Canva, we recommend starting with Canva's Design School. This free online course will help users get started with basic knowledge of the tools within the program.
For assistance with Canva templates or to request a custom design, email the Creative Services team at creative@wwu.edu.
