Brand Marketing & Strategic Communications

We create marketing plans and buy advertising for events or programs related to student recruitment, retention and branding.

We also work closely with colleges and departments to maintain websites and create marketing and recruitment materials, including viewbooks and other collateral material. All advertising done on behalf of the university needs to be approved by this team prior to placement.

Web Communications

The Web Team, in concert with the digital content managers, support the outwardly-facing websites used to recruit new students and inform the general public about university activities.

Our team ensures the website content is consistent with the university's brand, messaging, image and strategic focus, and does not violate ADA requirements. Additionally, we provide technical support for the website and use tools to improve search engine optimization across the platform.
