The college's communications and marketing office develops strategies and content to achieve the goals of the college and its audiences.

What We Do

We provide prospective students, current students, faculty and staff the information and resources they need to be successful. Examples include:

  • Communicating with prospective and admitted students.
  • Developing advertising campaigns for graduate programs.
  • Regularly updating students, faculty and staff about upcoming events, announcements and news.
  • Developing messaging and materials for student recruitment, orientations and open houses.

We refine and enhance the college’s identity on campus, across the state and beyond. Examples include:

  • Accolades, a digital magazine for alumni and friends.
  • “How I Think and Do,” an alumni video series highlighting the value of our college.
  • Developing promotional strategies for college, department and unit events.
  • Highlighting and promoting our college’s faculty expertise and community engagement.

We support the college’s $35 million capital campaign and other fundraising objectives by developing and executing communication strategies. Examples include:

  • Creating stewardship campaigns to thank donors for their contributions.
  • Highlighting the impact of giving and the donors who make it all possible.
  • Developing visuals and messaging for scholarship luncheons, college board meetings and other events.

We work at the university, college, department and unit level to align communications and marketing projects. Examples include:
