Public Affairs

The public affairs team supports the College of Liberal Arts by communicating its achievements, expertise and special programs to public constituencies from international news organizations to community partners. We bring public perspectives into college decision-making and partner with faculty and staff to develop communication strategies that tell the college's story in clear, compelling and consistent ways.
