USF recognizes the importance of the media in conveying the dynamic research, teaching and service that takes place at a major metropolitan research university. And, as a public institution, USF takes very seriously its responsibility to openly and honestly share information with the public. Therefore, USF's University Communications & Marketing serves as the liaison between the university and the media.

Services to media:

Media Relations alerts media about university news and provides public records, statistics, photography and other information to help reporters cover USF. The office also helps reporters cover news outside of USF by connecting reporters with faculty experts, research studies and other data.

Services to USF:

Media Relations handles the distribution of university news, press photos and other information that should be shared with the public at-large. It uses news releases, media advisories, tip sheets, press conferences and other avenues. The office also provides media training and crisis communications.

For more information, contact Lara Wade, News Director, at (813) 974-4014 or lwade@admin.usf.edu. You may also fax the Media Relations department at (813) 974-2888.
