- NSC Presentation Template Usage Guide
- The template is set up in 16:9 or widescreen, which is now the most common setting for projectors.
- The template uses Open Sans font, which is one of the Aggie brand fonts and is available on the Texas A&M Brand Guide website.
- Note: If you do not have administrative access on your computer, you will need to work with your IT department to install the font on your computer.
- Use the template for all presentations during the NSC.
- Intro Slide - Includes the NSC secondary mark, your presentation title, and your office/dept lockup.
- Closing Slide - Do not use the color schemes of each social media icon. Instead use the maroon and white icons provided within the Powerpoint template.
- Content Slides - Includes the TAM logo box in the footer of each slide to display a cohesive look throughout the NSC and to focus attention on the information being presented
