The Office of Marketing and Communications is located in Fulford Hall on the third floor. The office coordinates marketing initiatives, advertising, publications production and mailing for external audiences, publicity for events, and the University master calendar. We provide graphic design and editorial services in support of admissions, development and athletics as well as many other programs on campus. Photographic services and research, media relations and maintenance of the University web site home page are also the responsibilities of the Office of Marketing and Communications.

Pamela Byerly or
Susan Blettel.
