University Communications provides communications, marketing, and public relations services that advance the University of Miami’s mission as well as its reputation and identity as a leading academic and research institution. Through its communications to the media and the print and electronic materials it produces, it disseminates information about the programs, research, and activities of the University to external and internal audiences. Under the leadership of Vice President Jacqueline R. Menendez, University Communications consists of two offices: Media Relations & Multimedia and Communications & Marketing.

Office of Communications and Marketing
The unit—the central publications office for the University—produces multiple periodicals to keep our audiences informed about the many developments at UM, as well as the content of the home page and other institutional pages on the University’s Web site.

Office of Media Relations
Media Relations is responsible for communicating information regarding the University’s achievements, faculty research, programs, and events to the local, regional, national, and international news media.
