Communications staff members provide direction for, plan, and implement internal and external communications initiatives to advance Buffalo State’s mission, strategic plan, and brand. The team oversees media relations, official collegewide social media platforms, content development and planning, editorial style and policy, and internal communication with faculty and staff (Daily Bulletin). Staff members are the key source for local, regional, and national reporters, providing rapid response to journalists, as well as scouting, tracking, and proactively pitching news stories. The team coordinates the college's issues management and emergency communication strategy, including the campuswide text message alert system, Buff State Alert.
Buffalo State's official presences on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, Flickr, and LinkedIn are all maintained by the Marketing and Communications Office.
The Marketing and Communications Office actively supports the adoption of social media networking at the department, program, and organization levels and accepts content from across campus for inclusion on the college’s social media sites.
