The Leadership and Media Communications team strengthens UVA’s reputation by leading effective and proactive issues management and executive communications initiatives.

The team partners with University leadership to provide rapid, precise, fact-based information to a wide range of internal and external audiences. The team also facilitates connections with media partners far and wide to amplify the voices of UVA’s talented faculty, staff and students on the opportunities and challenges society faces.

As a public institution of higher education, the University is dedicated to cultivating and supporting relationships of trust on Grounds, with the communities in which we live and work, and across the Commonwealth of Virginia. We always seek transparency. The Leadership and Media Communications team is a primary exponent of this belief, sharing the University’s knowledge and perspective on issues relevant to the public’s well-being with clarity and authenticity.
