- We can direct news releases, media advisories and announcements to where they will have the most impact.
- If you have been contacted by a reporter, we offer tips and guidance for a successful interview.
- If you want to see UW in the news, we track those stories and provide links to them.
- We produce stories for publication accompanied by outstanding images, to showcase the talents and achievements of the university community.
- In emergency situations, the Communications staff keeps UW informed and up to date with announcements, UW Alerts and e-mails.
- To keep our faculty and staff connected, we provide services such as the daily planning calendar and the weekly faculty and staff newsletter.
- And we cannot forget our university operators, who are on the frontline of communications, fielding calls and directing them to their destinations.
