Policies & Prices

The publications team in the University's public relations office writes, edits, designs and provides photographs and illustrations for the University's major external publications (serving audiences of alumni, donors and prospective students) and internal publications (faculty and staff). The publications team also provides content for the University's electronic communication with these primary audiences through several web sites.
