Press Inquiries

All press inquiries should be directed or reported to the Office of Marketing & Communications. In most cases, the office will recommend a spokesperson to speak on behalf of the University about specific issues or news. Review the University Media Relations Policy‌ for faculty and staff members. 

Members of the news media may contact the Office of Marketing and Communications to request assistance in finding the right sources for a story, request an on-campus interview, or request campus video or photo access. Please see the policy for press on campus.
