We have updated the "Project Request Form" that you can still find on our unit's web page, https://my.alfred.edu/mar.... Our new form incorporates and facilitates website content changes, and we ask that faculty and staff and administration no longer use the now-retired Web Request Form.

Once you submit your request, a MarComm staff member will immediately be notified by our project management platform, Asana. You will promptly receive a telephone call or email message from a member of the staff to confirm the details of your request.

And, going forward, we welcome your responses regarding your experience in using this new tool.
