PowerPoint Templates
Although their use is not mandatory, the templates help create professional presentations that consistently represent the college to internal and external audiences. In order to comply with Penn State’s brand standards, you should use Rockwell for headlines and Franklin Gothic for body text.

PowerPoint Tips
Include the college mark: The Penn State Liberal Arts mark should at least be used on the title slide.
Introduce yourself: Include the name of the presentation and the presenter with the title and department name.
Connect with the audience: The last slide should contain contact information (address, phone, website, email, social media).
Build a strong presentation: Keep your points simple and use examples.
Less is more: Your background and images shouldn’t detract from the content. Images should be used to support and visually explain the text.
