AHC Service Guide
We are here to help
The service-oriented teams in the Academic Health Center Office of Communications are here to work with AHC faculty, staff, and students to communicate their news, their experiences, and their research. We do this in an appropriate and timely way among a variety of groups to advance their professional goals and promote our institutional reputation.
Through media relations, community relations, and print and electronic publications, we promote the vision and mission of the AHC on behalf of the University of Minnesota, and strive to strengthen the image of the University through the programs and work of the AHC.
The team provides strategic and day-to-day communications support. We work closely with communicators within AHC schools and colleges, centers and institutes, providing hands-on support, counsel, and even direction. In addition, we connect with communicators within University Relations, the UMAA, University foundations, and community organizations to ensure we use resources appropriately.
Contact the AHC Communications staff for help when you are:
- Preparing to talk with a reporter
- Ready to discuss a breakthrough or a brochure,
- Organizing a celebration or other community event,
- Planning a publication,
- Revamping an ongoing publication,
- Considering a change to the Web site,
- Desiring a new logo, or
- Assessing your communication plan.
In general, the more lead time we have to work with you on a project, the better the opportunity we ll have to put together an approach that's well thought out and achievable.
What follows is an overview of our areas of expertise, specific ways in which we can help you and your school or program, and guidelines for most effectively working with our team.
