Communications and Media Relations

Main Content

The communications and marketing team works with units across campus to frame and shape compelling stories for placement in publications, the press, on websites, in SIU Today and many other outlets. We are here to help you think strategically about your audience and connect you with staff across the office who will work together to help you achieve your communications and marketing goals.

What stories are we hoping you’ll share with us? Those that support the university’s core messages and strategic plan, demonstrating our commitment to student success, inclusive excellence, the academic experience, improving lives through research and discovery, and enhancing our region and state.
