The Buena Vista University Office of University Marketing and Communications (UMC) is committed to fostering professional working relationships with the print, broadcast and web media to promote the excellence of the university through the accomplishments and stories of its students, faculty and staff.   In doing so, we distribute official university news releases; prepare ideas for possible stories you may be interested in developing on your own; assist with background information and faculty, staff and student contacts for reporters working on enterprise stories; and help with media coverage of on-campus events.

If you are a media professional working on a story that we can assist with, please contact UMC at 712.749.2120 or e-mail herrons@bvu.edu or grothec@bvu.edu. If you want to to be added to our media distribution list, please send your request and contact information to smithci@bvu.edu.
