What We Do

The Faculty of Arts and Sciences Office of Communications serves to promote the actions, announcements, achievements, and activities of FAS to the press. Our mission is twofold: First, we educate and assist offices, departments, faculty, and students to promote their news. Second, we offer myriad resources for media seeking academic news. We have a keen understanding of the media's needs, so we work diligently to support the press's efforts by enabling access to information sources and faculty experts who can present insight and perspective on current events.

The FAS Office of Communications has a full-time staff available to work with media representatives and FAS faculty, staff, and students.
