Public Relations
We are a dedicated team of communications and public relations specialists who work daily with news outlets to promote and support the academic mission of Creighton University.
We publicize the ways that Creighton faculty, staff, students and alumni are making a difference and tell those stories by:
- Promoting events, lectures and other activities of the University
- Offering expert commentary on issues, events or topics of interest
- Crafting news releases and distributing them
- Pitching stories to local, regional and national
In addition, we handle crisis communications for Creighton, in conjunction with the University's Critical Incident Report Response Team.
