Marketing and Communications

The Office of Communications is the keeper of the university’s image to the internal and external community. The Director of Communications guides the telling of the university’s story through mediums generated by the University, and by aiding journalists in mass media. The office manages communications internally; including the university’s online newsroom, The Islander magazine, electronic newsletters, video/audio production including commercials, and videos for the web/outreach presentations. The department also administers the university’s Code Blue Emergency Notification System.

The office’s relationships with local, state and national media outlets help journalists in creating awareness of the university’s diverse educational, research, and outreach endeavors. Methods include: electronic press kits, news and event releases, and coordination of media interviews with members of the campus community.

The Office of Marketing provides print, digital media, photography, licensing, and advertising placement services to develop the university’s image and brand.

As the university’s arm for both internal and external marketing, the Marketing Office emphasizes the use of strategic and integrated marketing that support the university’s mission and goals.

The Office of Web Services and Social Media administers the main universities web presence and top-tier social media accounts. We provide assistance and training for the web content management system, Cascade, as well as guidance for web and social media best practices.
