Public Affairs & Communications (PAC) can help you tell a great story. Telling that story can be important to articulating the significance and impact of your or your colleagues’ work; engaging the community in academic, research or creative projects; promoting your students’ achievements, enhancing recruitment activity; or raising awareness of your department’s initiative and achievements. These stories also play a key role in shaping the University’s story, and in demonstrating success in fulfilling its Strategic Priorities. Institutional stories are a critical way of showing the community – and others on campus -- the important work going on in your department, whether it be in student learning, research, creative activity, or community engagement. At PAC, we want to help you tell those stories.

- Overseeing products including the University alumni magazine View, the Annual Report, and pieces in support of student recruitment.
