Please come by our office so we can visit and review your needs together. We’ll need some basic facts and we’ll talk about your needs and how we can best address them. With approval from your dean, vice president or department head, we’ll develop a plan for action that represents the best of our public relations skills.
In order to maintain strong communication across colleges and campus, we’ve designated a PRMIS staff member for each College or School. The PRMIS liaison is in regular contact with Deans to gauge continuing public relations needs and determine appropriate actions. PRMIS is fully committed to ensuring that all communications, print or electronic branded collateral and University information services provide accurate, clear and concise information at all time. This helps us to present a consistent and engaging message about the University, its students, faculty and staff and all programs and services that it provides or delivers. We use WorkZone, a web-based tool (see below) to help manage online requests for most Office services.
Liaisons and their respective Colleges are:
- A.R. Sanchez, Jr. School of Business: Mika Akikuni
- College of Education: Mika Akikuni
- College of Arts and Sciences: Steve Harmon
- College of Nursing and Health Sciences: Steve Harmon
- Office of Graduate Studies and Research: Steve Harmon
- University College: Steve Harmon
Please see our General Guidelines for Promotion, including on-line request forms for services and publications, suggested timelines and an off-campus printing primer.
