Office of Communication and Public Affairs OCPA

The Office of Communications and Public Affairs leads strategic marketing and communications across the University. We partner with campus teams to craft clear, compelling messages that elevate programs, strengthen the brand, and expand your impact.

Your UMB Story Deserves to Be Heard

UMB is home to groundbreaking research, dedicated clinicians, gifted educators, and students who are changing what's possible in health, law, and human services. The Office of Communications and Public Affairs exists to make sure those stories reach the people who need to hear them.

We are UMB's in-house creative and communications team. We work alongside faculty, staff, and school teams to produce communications that are compelling, on brand, and built to make an impact. From a single event flyer to a full marketing campaign, we bring the same expertise and care to every project.

Our Work Across UMB

From research breakthroughs to community building, we partner with schools and units across UMB to communicate what matters.

That work spans the full range of UMB communications, shaping how UMB is seen on campus, in Baltimore, and beyond. We're proud of what we've built together, and are always looking for the next collaboration.
