Communications

SPH Communications supports the entire school and works to raise the school’s profile by communicating its value and impact to internal and external audiences. We manage the school’s brand, media relations, website, social media, internal communications, and prominent faculty awards. We serve as the consistent voice for our school and its leadership. Our key publications include SPHere newsletters (internal), and Advances magazine (external).

We collaborate with faculty, staff and students across the school and the University of Minnesota on marketing plans and strategies related to student recruitment and engagement, philanthropy, public relations, and events.

Submit your news and research online. Contact Sarah Bjorkman if you have an upcoming communications or marketing project you’d like us to consider.
