Media Inquiries | University of Miami

The Office of Media Relations is available 24 hours a day, every day, to respond to inquiries from the news media, including student reporters. Our Media Relations staff responds rapidly to media requests, and we encourage you to call our office if you have any questions about the University of Miami, our faculty, departments, or hospitals. Our office can also help put you in direct contact with a wide variety of experts in numerous specialties. Experts on timely topics are posted on miami.edu/experts.

As the University of Miami is a private university, arrangements must be made in advance to take photographs or shoot video footage of the Coral Gables campus, including building interiors, and a member of the Media Relations staff must accompany cameras on campus. Dormitories on campus are off limits to press unless there is prior approval from the Office of Media Relations.

Please call 305-284-5500 on weekdays, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Eastern Time, to arrange for permission. On weekends or after hours, news media on deadline may page the office by calling 786-229-0627 or 786-229-0626.
