Can club leaders change logos?
MBA Club Logos:
To change the MBA Club logos, club leaders must follow MSB Marketing/Comms Policies. Once you have the final logo, please submit it for approval to the Marketing/Comms Team (Martha Holland & Teresa Mannix, and cc'ed mbaprogramoffice@georgetown.edu). After it is approved, please update your group's new logo on HoyaConnect and save the high-resolution image into your club's Google Drive so future leaders can find it easily.
Please keep in mind that the MSB logo just changed (new ones here), so please consider that if you decide to change your club logo.
What are the guidelines for club emails?
Club Email Accounts: All student organizations have a “georgetown.edu” email account that should be used for all club business.
Club leaders will receive their email account and password from their club advisors at the beginning of their term.
Passwords should not be shared with anyone outside of active board members.
Student organizations can use this general email account to log into other Georgetown University tech platforms, such as Google Suite, Zoom, Box, etc.
Club emails should NOT be enrolled on DUO, and they should NOT change password without their MBA Program Office Advisor's approval
All students can view club emails in MBA Student Org Advisors and Leaders file.
Should Student Organizations need to send a school-wide email, they must adhere to the following guidelines:
One (1) email permitted for a signature club event per semester
Clubs hosting a career day may send one (1) email per academic year promoting the event
Clubs sponsoring an international trek (not domestic) may send one (1) email per academic year
