Creative Services is an arm of Marketing and Communications and is comprised of several departments that work together to write, edit, design, print, and mail brochures, catalogs, fliers, booklets, ads, newsletters, invitations, posters, calendars, and business cards, along with maintaining the Hofstra website and producing photo and video content.
