Marketing Communications
The Marketing Communications team promotes and elevates Stetson University through storytelling and strategic communications, managing the Stetson Today news site, social media channels, Stetson University Magazine, media relations and more.
The team collaborates with partners across the university to advance the institution's mission and goals, and serves as a central hub to keep the university community informed.
Media Relations serves as the main contact for media outlets seeking expert commentary, information about Stetson University or assistance planning a campus visit. We also support Stetson community members by coordinating interviews and providing Media Training. Looking for a faculty expert for your news story or broadcast? Browse our expert topic list.
