Communications and strategic marketing support for the Department of English is managed by the Student Marketing and Communications Team — a student unit responsible for handling day-to-day needs as well as consulting on larger projects and initiatives — located in the Makers Space (Denney Hall 421). The team's responsibilities are listed below, and include maintaining the departmental website and social media accounts on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn and YouTube. 

Whenever possible, the Student Marketing and Communications Team fields project requests from individuals or groups. The ability to accept a project depends on the time of year the request is submitted and the project queue. If a project cannot be accepted, you will be notified immediately and consulted about alternate methods to consider for moving forward. Because the Student Marketing and Communications Team serves such a large number of people, the turnaround time can be longer than expected. As such, it is strongly recommended that you consult the "Submit a Project Request" section below as early as possible when planning a project or event. 

Student Communications Team

The Student Communications Team ("the Comm Team") is supervised by Electronic Learning Development Senior Specialist Mike Bierschenk.
