The Office of Communications serves the law school by leading the schoolwide communications program and by providing direct service to individual units.
Our Primary Areas of Activity Are:
Media Relations
Conduct outreach to general and legal news media outlets to disseminate the school’s most compelling stories; provide expert commentary on issues of the day; and represent the school to regional, national, and international audiences.
Publications
Create publications to help recruit students, communicate with alumni, promote philanthropy, attract and inform research partners, and engage people with diverse interests in the life of the school.
Web Management
Develop the school’s website into an increasingly effective tool for informing and involving all constituencies, providing news content, overseeing design, and promoting an intuitive, interactive user experience.
Identity Program
Manage the School of Law’s branding standards, products, and services by defining appropriate uses of the school’s name, articulating its distinctive character, and providing logo files and letterhead templates for the school and its affiliates.
