University and Public Relations (UPR)
The Office of University and Public Relations provides a variety of services to the campus community including: public relations, media relations, campus communications, web services, government relations, photography, graphic design, and educational outreach. Efforts and activities are designed to assist in the recruitment of students, faculty, and staff; support fundraising activities; provide recognition for the faculty, staff, and students for their many achievements; and identify opportunities for the university to work more closely with the community and state.
University and Public Relations orchestrates campus involvement with annual events like the United Way of the Black Hills fundraising campaign, and the YMCA Corporate Cup. The Office also acts as a liaison for Technical Assistance Programs to assist in identifying resources for business and funding for the School of Mines.
