Communications & marketing
University Communications + Marketing (UC+M) provides a strategic approach to help you achieve your goals—whether they’re enrolment, fundraising or reputation-related.
We offer many different areas of expertise, including social media, digital signage and photo services. We provide the strategic communication advice and resources to help you tell your story as part of the UVic Edge.
The UVic Edge
The UVic Edge brand gives our story a consistent message, look and tone. The Edge helps us highlight our key messages and gain recognition for our accomplishments. The Edge sets us apart from our competitors.
Internal communications
Strong internal communications promote a sense of shared purpose and collaboration across campus. We can help you communicate your message across campus and beyond.
We also publish The Ring, UVic’s community newspaper, and Campus Checklist, a campus news digest delivered to all faculty and staff.
Media relations
Our media relations team connects our university community with local, regional, national and international print and broadcast media. They can also help to ensure your area’s point of view is communicated effectively if you are involved in an issue.
