The Office of Public Affairs & Communications works in partnership with school and departmental communications and media colleagues to promote the institution and to tell the many stories of Yale. We provide a variety of communications services to faculty and staff and we connect members of the media with our faculty members. We aim to inform and engage various audiences.
