The team manages the daily operation of the university’s central communications channels including the website and social media accounts, guides the university’s media engagement, maintains brand reputation and crisis communications, and provides campus partners with strategic communications counsel. As the gatekeepers of the UMCES brand, the Office of Communications is also responsible for ensuring the university brand is used consistently and correctly.
