Communications & Outreach Department

We lead communications, marketing, and outreach on behalf of JMU Libraries. Our communications reach a variety of audiences, including current and prospective students, faculty, staff, donors, alumni, JMU parents and families, and the local community.

The Communications & Outreach team manages promotion, media relations, messaging, and branding for the Libraries. We collaborate with the JMU Division of Marketing and Strategic Communications, the Office of Orientation and Transition, and the Office of Admissions. We also partner with JMU’s Division of Philanthropy and Engagement to coordinate the Libraries’ participation in fundraising.
