The Office of Communications & Marketing seeks to promote the achievements of the students, faculty and staff of the University, its colleges, institutes and various constituent groups by communicating the core mission of teaching, research and public service in furtherance of the University's role as New York City's public institution of higher learning. The office provides strategic communications advice and integrated marketing services; develops relationships with media; responds to requests for information, and coordinates news and information among the various colleges for external and internal audiences. The office manages content and design of www.cuny.edu, the University web site which serves more than 750,000 unique visitors per month, and is a leader in developing integrated web-based communications technologies. These include: audio and video pod casting; rss news and sports syndications; e-News, The Daily Brief and other e-mail newsletters and alerts; video streaming, and a comprehensive University events listings at www.cuny.edu/events. Daily news and feature updates appear on "Today's News" at www.cuny.edu/news. The office manages CUNY Radio at www.cuny.edu/radio, the consolidated web site for the FCC licensed 10-watt stations at City College, the College of Station Island and Kingsborough Community College. CUNY Radio produces "The Faculty Lecture Series," and shows on immigration issues, sports and University news. The office publishes CUNY Matters, the University's newsmagazine, bimonthly, with a readership of more than 100,000 faculty, staff and friends of the University. News releases, advisories, brochures and other publications are created and disseminated by the office. Media access and interviews with faculty experts are available through the CUExperts service. The office provides web and print design services and maintains an expanding digital archive of more than 12,000 images, many historic, available for use by the news media.
