Marketing + Communication
The Office of Marketing and Communication (OMC) supports all of campus, managing and sharing information about Hastings College across all types of media and audiences. We prepare and distribute information about the College and students to media; produce College publications, including HC Today; manage hastings.edu; produce videos; manage marketing campaigns; operate official social media handles; and more.
For help in any of these areas and more, email us at omc@hastings.edu — or stop by our office in Gray Center (Room 130) or contact anyone on our team for support (see below).
Have a Story to Tell or Event to Promote?
We help write and share news releases, and post campus news in the media section of the website and often share them via social media.
For events, email omc@hastings.edu the Who, What, When, Where and Why!
Reporters prefer to receive news releases 10-14 days in ahead, so please three or more weeks before your event.
Posters/Flyers: Our interns and the Center for Applied Media Arts can help create posters/flyers for your event.
For student and alumni stories, email us and include details as to why the person should be highlighted and other background that may be helpful. We'll follow up and keep you informed as to the status of your story idea.
