Communications and Public Relations

The mission of Communications and Public Relations (CommPR) is to enhance UMR's public image, increase the public's awareness of UMR’s accomplishments, and develop consistent communications that build our reputation. CommPR has the primary responsibility for UMR’s institutional image and communications strategy, both internally and externally. However, responsibility for maintaining a consistent and positive image is one that is shared by all UMR staff and faculty. CommPR manages the marketing, promotional, and licensing efforts of the university. The director of CommPR also serves as the university spokesperson and handles all media relations.
