What we do
University Communications is organized into three core areas, each focused on specific aspects of the JSU brand and communications mission.
Public Relations efforts advance the goals of the university by strengthening awareness, engagement, and support among constituents vital to the university’s success. We seek positive media coverage of the university, its people and programs, and communicate externally and internally about the achievements of JSU, its faculty and students through our publications and news site.
JSU Marketing focuses on four key areas: building brand awareness, increasing enrollment, and promotional support of JSU Athletics and the Division of Institutional Advancement fundraising campaigns. It is our goal and pleasure to work with all departments to ensure university brand consistency.
Creative Services, in collaboration with Marketing, ensures that the brand of Jackson State University is always consistent, strong, and positive. This entity also focuses on the image of the university for our internal and external audience through design, photography, and video production.
Access the university’s print portal to order professionally printed materials for your department or event.
