The Central State University Marketing and Communications team is committed to communicating the University’s mission and vision. The Office of Marketing and Communications aims to raise awareness, understanding, and support for the University. Equipped with an intimate familiarity with Central State’s issues and activities, our team functions to serve the Central State family as a trusted extension of the Institution.  

The team supports the University community with accurate, timely, relevant news and storytelling. This includes marketing and media relations, advertising, website support, newsroom, newsletters, annual reports, social media, University events, photography, graphics, and more.
