We tell the UMSL Story

University Marketing and Communications brings the UMSL story to life. Working across print and digital platforms, our team partners with units throughout the university to create compelling, consistent communications that connect with audiences and showcase the people, programs and achievements that define the University of Missouri-St. Louis.

Our Mission

University Marketing and Communications will make all aspects of marketing communications – advertising, direct mail/email, public relations, sales promotion, social media, special events, visual identity and web – work together as a cohesive force to enhance university priorities and ensure positive awareness, attraction and behavior.

Visibility and Outreach

We increase UMSL’s visibility across the St. Louis region and beyond through strategic marketing, communications and outreach. From promoting academic programs and student opportunities to sharing stories of research, achievement and regional impact, we connect UMSL with prospective students, alumni, partners and the broader community. Together, these efforts build awareness, strengthen UMSL’s reputation and position the university as a leading choice for higher education in St. Louis.
