With more than 80 professionals serving our students, faculty, staff, alumni, parents, patients, fans, friends, and community members, among others, the office is equipped to address the myriad of information and engagement needs of a broad constituency.

Our collective mantra is simple: to inform, intrigue, and inspire those who are connected with or may be touched in some way by the institution, and in doing so, enhance the global brand that is the University of Iowa
