We are responsible for crisis communications, news and media relations, school-wide publications, marketing and activities for our more than 15,000 living alumni and other important stakeholder groups.

    We are Human Ecology storytellers: 

    The Advancement & Communications team exists to build up the work that others in the School of Human Ecology are doing, as a powerful resource and partner. 
    • We are here to tell quality stories in intentional, meaningful ways that move people to feel or do something. 
    • We aim to strengthen the school’s reputation and make every alum and student feel that they made the right choice. 
    • As part of the School of Human Ecology, we believe it is important to keep a human-centered focus on our work.
