The Communications, Cultural
Affairs & Donor Relations
department
provides a variety of professional services
for FAU Libraries' faculty, staff and donors.
These services include coordinating events,
creative services, public relations and room
reservations.
We work in conjunction with the Libraries'
administration and FAU’s University Communications and
Marketing division to maintain standards
and guidelines for consistent, effective and
well-planned communications. Our team of
writers, editors, designers and marketing
strategists are committed to one
mission—telling the story of FAU
Libraries.
The department works closely with the
Libraries’ faculty and staff to help them
reach their audience while communicating our
mission. From coordinating large-scale
events to designing a department brochure,
we approach every project with the same
level of attention to detail and brand
consistency.
