Academic Communications

Academic communicators help ensure that each school and college at Elon University effectively conveys its unique story and priorities for student learning and mentoring with authenticity that adheres to the university’s brand messaging and visual identity.

With decades of collective experience in journalistic storytelling and multimedia creation, the Academic Communications team is integral part of each school community. Communicators work closely with students, faculty, and staff to craft compelling narratives that demonstrate the exemplary teaching, important scholarship, and a learning climate of inclusive excellence that are hallmarks of an Elon education.

A proximity to classrooms, faculty offices, and administrative suites allows communicators to deeply understand and convey the culture, opportunities, and achievements of each school. This proximity fosters real-time collaboration, enabling the creation of tailored marketing materials that align with the university’s strategic goals while highlighting the distinctiveness of each program.

By ensuring consistency in brand messaging and visual identity, embedded communicators help reinforce the university’s reputation, ensuring that every story contributes to a cohesive and powerful institutional narrative.

Working With Us

How to collaborate with Academic Communications for projects supporting Elon's schools and academic units:

To ensure the success of your communications and marketing projects, we recommend that each school on campus works closely with their respective Academic Communications representative. These communicators are your dedicated partners, helping to align your projects with the broader goals of the university and ensuring consistency in messaging and branding.

Before starting any new project, please make your assigned communicator aware of your plans so they can provide guidance and support where needed. If you’re ready to begin a project and feel confident managing it without additional assistance, you can initiate the process through our Creative Services department. They are equipped to bring your vision to life with professional design, production, and strategic expertise.
