Meet the Team
University Marketing and Communications (UMAC) tells the story of The University of Texas at Austin — across platforms to diverse audiences and with purpose. We manage and elevate the University’s brand through strategic communications, creative services and digital outreach.
Our work supports the University’s mission by promoting academic excellence, breakthrough research, student success and the impact of Longhorns around the world. Whether developing a campaign or crafting a campus message, we collaborate with partners across the Forty Acres to share what starts here.
