Our Mission

The Office of Communication, Community, and Global Engagement was created to build robust and reliable processes for developing and executing integrated communication and development plans. College staff from Communications and Marketing, Events, and Development have been integrated under this office to implement an integrated strategy for these service areas to work collaboratively with departments and institutes. Our goal is to better publicize the excellent work of our faculty, students, and alumni so that a wide range of internal and external stakeholders can better understand and appreciate the college's extraordinary achievements. The larger goal of this office is to create an integrated communication plan for the college and each department and institute that includes at a minimum: consistent messaging across platforms and social media, including websites; a strategic calendar of events that features and reinforces this messaging; and, a development plan to engage current and prospective supporters of the messaging in giving to the college.
