University Communications and Marketing leads the institution-level integrated marketing and communications efforts for the University. We collaborate with communicators across campus to ensure consistent messaging, strategic marketing efforts and strong brand development for the University.

We do this by focusing our efforts on University activities that best reflect the creation of new knowledge, creativity, innovation and entrepreneurship – all for the purpose of providing an environment that enables student success.

Through strategic and creative communications, we demonstrate how the University provides value to its varied constituents and helps fulfill the University’s collective goals toward student success; global relevance; interdisciplinary distinction; strong community engagement; and a vital campus environment.

We are part of the Office of the President; this centralized approach brings aspects of marketing communication together to effectively position the University in a consistent and coordinated manner.

Leading the group are:

• Eileen Korey, associate vice president for communications and chief communications officer.
