About Us
News & Information is the primary media and public relations office for the University of Central Florida. The office’s primary mission is to enhance and protect UCF’s reputation. The university’s reputation is what attracts students, faculty and staff members, business partners and donors.
News & Information supports the university’s goals by working together with colleges, divisions and partners across UCF to implement strategic communications initiatives. Specifically, News & Information develops plans to share the positive, unique and exciting success stories from across the university.
