Media Relations
We cover faculty, staff, student, campus, and alumni stories and connect members of the media with our faculty experts.
The Office of Marketing and Communications at Rutgers University–Camden supports and promotes the University through a variety of services and is its primary source of external communications.
We actively elevate the Rutgers–Camden brand by promoting the accomplishments of students, faculty, staff, and alumni across campus. If you have a story to be told, an event to promote, or a new digital or print project to start, contact us.
We cover faculty, staff, student, campus, and alumni stories and connect members of the media with our faculty experts.
The Office of Marketing and Communications can provide guidance on pitching and promoting news to the media, preparing for interviews, and addressing media inquiries. Faculty and staff should not respond directly to media inquiries on university-related issues until consulting with MarCom.
Our notable scholars can speak to organizations and at lecture series, workshops, and public dialogues on a wide variety of subjects: social sciences, global issues, health, law, physical sciences, public policy, technology, and much more.
