University personnel with a need to produce PowerPoint presentations can take advantage of employing the use of several PowerPoint templates pre-designed by the department of Communications and Marketing. Using pre-designed templates for PowerPoint makes preparing presentations quick and easy because the slide layouts have already been prepared--simply add content and save. Color schemes, alignment, and university branding are already taken care of, so you can focus on the most important part of your presentation: the content. To use these templates, simply download the
Oakland University PowerPoint templates to your computer and follow the installation instructions for your operating system--instructions for both Windows and OSX versions of Microsoft Office products are included. More information is available via
University Communications and Marketing.
The Multimedia Service Center also offers presentation development as a service. To request presentation development service from the Multimedia Service Center, please use the
Footprints system to initiate a work request. (If you are not familiar with the Footprints system, please find a brief tutorial
here.) Be sure to include your name, department, and contact information, along with any details specific to your request and the university fund number to which your request will be billed. Once the request has been received by the CSITS team, you will be contacted to let you know that your request has been accepted and added to our job queue--usually within one business day.
University Logos
When developing presentations or academic research posters, one may wish to use a university logo to identify our institution. The university logo may be placed in the upper-left corner or centered along the upper or lower edge of documents; however, it may never be placed along the right edge of any document or screen. For any questions regarding the placement of university logos, please contact the department of Communications and Marketing. Follow these links to download the high resolution
Oakland University logo in color or
black and white; please do not use low resolution versions of logos found within the university website for print purposes.
