Communications & Marketing

The RII Communications team is the voice of UArizona research.

We're a group of writers, graphic designers, and web developers who are here to help you connect with your audiences and spread your message.

As professional communicators, we'll help you break down silos and tell the overarching UArizona research story in a high-level, visually appealing, in a way that is accessible to both internal and external audiences.

Our job is to tell your story.

To do that effectively, we need to understand:

  • Your mission
  • Your initiatives
  • Your existing outreach efforts
  • Your funding sources
  • The goals of your internal and external stakeholders

Sometimes, all you need is a quick update and reprint of existing materials. No problem, just let us know! For larger projects that require more in-depth communications support, we will work with you to develop compelling and strong promotional materials that showcase your accomplishments.

If you have questions or need updates to existing work, you can email us at research-comms@list.arizona.edu.
