ArtSci Web & Communications

What We Do

We have something for everyone.

Strategic Communications

We help you define priorities, set communications goals, identify the right communication channels, and execute plans for success. Within these bounds, we can help you decide if social media is the right tool for the job, pitch ideas to the ArtSci and Public Affairs news teams, or help you establish or redesign an internal newsletter.

Website Development & Support

Our team develops and maintain websites for Arts & Sciences departments, centers, and programs. We provide continuous improvement by developing new features and functionality and rolling those out to sites on an ongoing basis.

Branding & Identity

We can help you communicate your individual department, program, or center brand while adhering to the ArtSci and WashU brand guidelines in order to enhance your reputation.

Design & Photography

We want your website, newsletter, or other communication channel to have the polished, professional look you need. Consult with our designers or set up a photoshoot with our photographers. We can also point you towards the shared resources provided by WashU Public Affairs.

We maintain the official schoolwide social media accounts and offer consultation services to help you use social media to meet your needs.
