Communications

The staff writes and promotes press releases for an array of university events and happenings. Staff members follow the Winthrop Style Guide of writing and editing to produce top quality work. Archived releases are also available. In addition, staff members track weekly media coverage of Winthrop mentions in the news.

Staff members create compelling content for Winthrop's comprehensive social media presence and maintain a listing of departmental and organizational social media accounts. Interested in establishing your department or organization’s social media account? Please submit the social media registration form to get started and familiarize yourself with proper social media guidelines for posting and maintaining a social media account.

Writers provide engaging editorial content for the university's premier printed and online publications such as the Winthrop Magazine and the Winthrop Insider, a monthly enewsletter.

Staff members provide limited photography services during regular business hours. For photography assistance after 5 p.m. or on weekends, offices and/or departments are encouraged to hire a freelance photographer.
