How to Work With Us
Each academic department will have a designated Communications & Marketing Specialist who will be the primary point of contact and partner for local communications and marketing needs. Specialists will work directly with departments to develop and execute communications and marketing activities and will draw on the team’s areas of expertise when specialized support is needed.
Departments should continue to work with the FAS Communications & Marketing leaders and specialists listed on this page for support related to specific services, such as media relations, storytelling, marketing, digital strategy, or branding. These colleagues will provide strategic and specialized expertise in partnership with your assigned specialist.
