A senior communicator is a professional communicator who is designated by a unit’s leadership to serve as the unit’s chief communications officer. This individual is responsible for the unit’s communications strategy and for development of its main public-facing communications, including, but not limited to, digital and social media, stakeholder communications, marketing communications, publications, alumni communications, enrollment communications and news content.
UB’s Senior Communicators Council is the collaborative group of senior communicators that meets once per month. In addition to carrying out the responsibilities noted above, these individuals are instrumental contributors to the development and implementation of the UB brand, and are available to assist with communications-related questions associated with identity and brand.
