The Department of Public Relations expresses the vitality of UNMC through several avenues: informing the public, building relationships, and generating support and advocacy for the university. We create awareness and promote UNMC’s academic, research and community service missions. Our department is also an accurate, comprehensive source of health information for Nebraska and beyond. As part of this mission, we respond to media requests for experts, educated opinions and local angles to national news and look for every opportunity to tell the UNMC story. Public Relations is divided into five teams: Media Relations; Publications & Creative Services (including image/brand); Events & Community Relations; Web & Interactive Media; and Administrative.
