As an organizational support unit of the Office of the Executive Dean of Agriculture and Natural Resources, we partner with the faculty and staff to meet wide-ranging communication needs. Our aim is to utilize organizational information in multiple formats, venues, and media. These include: marketing, promotion, and recruitment materials; website development; legislative and advocacy efforts; Executive Dean's office communications (speeches and presentations); departmental identity, awareness, and branding; reports (annual reports, monthly and topic/audience-specific); internal communications (dean's monthly message, email broadcasts); event planning; public and media relations; publication development (fact sheets, newsletters, curricula, reports, etc.).
