Welcome to the Office of Public Relations

The Mississippi Valley State University Office of Communication and Marketing is charged with the responsibility of creating an integrated marketing strategy and positive image for the University.

The Office of Communication and Marketing’s staff offers support services to faculty, staff, alumni, friends and students in a variety of ways, including representing the University with external audiences and the media, internal communications, crisis communications, photographic duties and other public relations information and activities. As a service-oriented department, the Office of Public Relations is also responsive to the educational and cultural needs of the University community.

The Office of Communication and Marketing will establish a close working relationship with the entire University family and the community it serves in promoting a positive image of the University and in documenting, preserving and highlighting the history of the University. In doing so, the Office of Communication and Marketing will support the University in its efforts to enhance its programs, services and promote lifelong learning.

The Office of Communication and Marketing provides policies regarding the content and design for institutional publications produced and distributed by various departments on campus. The Office of Communication and Marketing also publishes brochures, programs, and other promotional materials, and a twice-monthly employee newsletter, the Communiqué.

Our ultimate goal is to be service-orientated and responsive to the educational and cultural needs of the University community
