University Communications and Marketing, commonly known as UCM, supports the mission of Ohio University by facilitating communication and marketing best practices, strategy, and deliverables for various offices across the institution. Our efforts centrally serve the Ohio University community, reaching students, faculty, staff, alumni, parents, donors, and the general public.
UCM supports the University’s mission and vision by showcasing the institution’s excellence, directing brand development, increasing brand awareness, influencing recruitment and retention, and developing positive relationships with stakeholders through communications that inform, engage, and inspire.
Because UCM is now a centralized team, we are no longer charging for most communication and marketing work.
Projects and tasks are assessed on a case-by-case basis, and we may occasionally need to charge for work depending on associated external costs, our capacity, and a project’s relevance to University goals.
