Office of Communications

The CUNY SPH Office of Communications (Comms) is essential to positioning the School as a premier institute of graduate education and research, utilizing a variety of communications channels and social media.

Comms is responsible for crafting all official communications from the School, as well as delivering news-worthy information to both our internal and external audiences. Comms ensures that all official communications by the School are consistent in content, tone, and style, and adhere to the overall mission and vision of the School.

The Comms team also helps promote official CUNY SPH events, including events hosted by our affiliated Centers and Institutes, through our various communications channels and through our social media accounts.
