Marketing and Communications
Valparaiso University’s Offices of University Marketing and University Communications help the University communicate with one voice to clearly reflect the Valpo brand.
We partner with admission and financial aid, undergraduate and graduate academic programs, advancement and alumni engagement, Valpo Athletics, and other departments and individuals across campus for design, web, photo/video, editorial, and marketing needs. This may include strategic marketing planning, paid advertising, social media, media relations, print and web publications, writing and editing, event promotion, internal communications, or crisis communication strategy.
Our in-house, award-winning team of professionals includes marketing strategy specialists, copywriters, editors, web and print designers, photographers and videographers, and communications professionals.
Through close collaboration with campus constituents, we seek to enhance the reputation and recognition of Valpo and broaden the public’s awareness and understanding of the University’s mission, its people, and its impact in the world.
