Writing, Editing, and Presentations

Writing, Editing, and Presentations

We prioritize clear, compelling, and accurate communication. Whether you need a speech drafted for senior leadership, a presentation prepared for an event, or a unit-written report polished before it’s distributed, our team is here to help.

How We Can Help

We support a range of written and presentation needs including:

  • Remarks, talking points, and keynote speeches
  • Presentations for conferences, seminars, and leadership engagements
  • Interviews and welcome addresses
  • Review and revision of unit-written communications, reports, and newsletters

Turnaround Time

Five business days’ notice is preferred for any request in this category. Shorter timelines will be accommodated when possible. We encourage you to reach out as early as possible, particularly for speeches or presentations tied to high-profile events or senior leadership engagements.

Planning Considerations

To deliver a product that meets the moment, we’ll ask you to share a few key details when submitting a request:

  • Purpose and Occasion: What is the speech, presentation, or document for? What should it accomplish?
  • Audience: Who will be in the room or receiving the communication? (Students, Faculty/Staff, Donors, Campus Leadership, Dignitaries, etc.)
  • Tone: What feel is most appropriate? (Formal, informal, motivational, educational)
  • Logistics: When and where is the engagement taking place? How much time is allotted? Will a presentation be required, and what tech setup or support is available?
  • Topics and Agenda: Are there specific topics that must be addressed? If available, please share a copy of the agenda or program.
  • Additional Considerations: Are there any logistical details — such as parking or accessibility needs — that our team or the speaker should be aware of?
  • Existing Materials: For copy editing requests, please provide the document, report, or newsletter you’d like reviewed along with any specific guidance on scope or focus.
