MEET THE UNC MARKETING TEAM


University Advancement's Marketing and Communications team supports, trumpets and advances the work of UNC and its people.

In partnership with UNC academic and administrative operations, our team drives the communication strategy and creative development that helps UNC accomplish its priority of becoming a Student First university.

Our work connects all facets of the UNC experience, ranging from student recruitment to alumni engagement, and all steps in between. Working in partnership with UNC faculty and staff, we aim to share the story of student success through the lens of a UNC education.
