Student Affairs communications and marketing support and internal and external communications in alignment with the Student Affairs mission and strategy. We engage with University Communications and serve as liaisons among departments within Student Affairs and with units across UNC-Chapel Hill to promote the work of Student Affairs among key stakeholders.
Communications and marketing work with Student Affairs staff to understand your communications needs and to help with your projects. Through conversations, brainstorming, strategic planning and implementation, we help to share your key messages to the right audiences across multiple platforms. We provide brand management, communication planning, media relations, content development and other editorial services, social media marketing, and we can help connect you with design services, photographic and video services and other marketing.
