Shaping the SIUE Narrative
At SIUE, our story is told through the achievements of our students, the breakthroughs of our faculty, and our deep roots in the Metro East community. The Office of University Marketing and Communications (UMC) is the strategic partner dedicated to bringing those stories to life.
We don’t just manage content and images; we safeguard SIUE’s reputation. By blending creativity with data-driven strategy, we ensure that every interaction, whether a social media post, a news headline, or a student catalog, accurately reflects the excellence and ambition of the Cougar spirit.
What We Do
Our team of creative professionals provides a full suite of marketing and communication services to the University community. We collaborate with departments across campus to create targeted, integrated messaging that resonates with students, inspires alumni, and recognizes our faculty and staff.
Why It Matters
Consistency is our greatest asset. When we speak with one voice, we amplify our impact. UMC provides the Brand Guidelines and Editorial Style Guides necessary to ensure that whether a student is reading a research report or a recruitment flyer, they feel the same sense of quality and belonging.
