With the cooperation and contributions of all other Graceland University departments, the mission of the Marketing and Communications team is to act as a collective resource for the knowledge and sharing of information and events for the Graceland Community and the outside public. We are committed to staying current on all Graceland University marketing and branding efforts, as well as offering the utmost quality in all areas of internal and external social interactions including, but not limited to: press releases, social media, print design, and web design. We are happy to help you with your communication needs and those of your department at Graceland University.

Marketing and Communications' core mission is providing counsel and producing content that advances the priorities of the university, connects with people emotionally and creatively tells the Graceland story through a variety of communications channels.
 
The Marketing and Communications office is located in Newcom Student Union in room 14.
 
We are responsible for the design and production of both printed and electronic media used by the university community. Services include graphic design, writing, photography, web and online services.
 
For marketing, public relations, and website questions, please contact Steve Edwards.

Help us help you.
In order to ensure the best possible quality, Design Services requests a minimum of four weeks from the time you place your design or print request to the time you would like the finished product. Note that projects that are more complex or have to be printed at an outside vendor will likely require additional time. Projects that are needed sooner may incur a $25 rush fee.

Only designated employees are permitted to speak on behalf of the university. If the media or any other entity wishes to request a statement on the university's behalf, they should contact the Office of Marketing and Communications. If an employee is asked by the media to provide a statement, the employee should direct them to the Office of Communications.
