University Relations Units
University Relations is the key implementer of Rutgers' comprehensive communications program. Our units work collaboratively and creatively on projects, both long- and short-term, that heighten awareness of the Rutgers story. We guide and support Rutgers people as they spread the word about their programs, people, initiatives, and achievements; we help the public learn about and access Rutgers' many resources; and we help the media tap our experts and report on our news and events.
