Marketing and Communications

We work with members of the Saint Michael’s community to manage Saint Michael’s image locally, nationally and internationally, strengthen our brand, and create compelling, consistent communications on the web, through social media, print publications and traditional and new media. Our goal is to engage prospective students and their families, alumni, donors and friends with the college in ways that generate positive interest, applications, gifts, pride and support for the college.

In short, the Office of Marketing and Communication uses various means – print, electronic, and face-to-face contact – to advance understanding of Saint Michael’s mission of providing education with a social conscience, and producing graduates with the intellectual tools to lead successful, purposeful lives that will contribute to peace and justice in our world.

The safety, privacy, and unimpeded academic and extracurricular pursuits of Saint Michael’s College’s students, faculty, and staff are priorities. Residence halls and classrooms/labs are off-limits without prior arrangement through the Marketing and Communications office. Commercial production companies and non-news related media are required to contact Marketing and Communications and/or our Special Events team before conducting business on campus.

In the event of an emergency, the College’s administration and/or law enforcement or fire personnel can close the campus or areas on campus to the public, including members of the media. In such a crisis, staff will work to arrange off-site or alternative ways to provide media outlets with accurate and up-to-date information.

To submit a Saint Michael’s College event that occurs off campus that is open to the public, submit your event to https://www.smcvt.edu/submit-new-event/.

Publications
