Strategic Communications

Telling the story of how UC Berkeley changes the world.

Strategic Communications tells the UC Berkeley story to inspire audiences and elevate the image of the university. We partner closely with various campus audiences — from the chancellor, deans and faculty members, to staff, students and alumni — as well as external media organizations who can amplify UC Berkeley’s important contributions across a wide range of subjects.

Our Expertise

Our teams, including internal communications, marketing & brand, news & media relations, strategic & critical communications, social media, video and web, bring deep expertise across disciplines and work together to deliver clear, cohesive, and strategically aligned communications that elevate the university’s voice.
