Promoting an event?
Want to build an audience for a speaker?
Want to announce an award you, your department, or your students earned, or a state or national office you hold?
Need content for a Web page?
The staff of News and Information Services, a unit of the Office of Advancement, is available to help you create and execute a communications plan to suit your needs. We can build the “buzz” or attention you want.
A communications plan could include news releases, Web features, photos, a story in University Notes or USI Magazine, or a printed piece such as a brochure or a newsletter.
Contact us in advance so that we can help you execute a strategic public relations effort: Six months out for a full promotional campaign; three months for brochures and photos; and two weeks out for news releases.
