Communications

Notre Dame Research Communications (NDRC) provides strategic support and guidance, as well as execution, for all of Notre Dame’s research communications needs. NDRC’s overarching goal is to enhance the University’s research reputation by showcasing the many research, scholarship, and creative endeavor outputs from Notre Dame’s faculty, postdoctoral scholars, and graduate and undergraduate students.

NDRC works closely with communicators in each College and School, as well as with the Office of Public Affairs and Communications, to ensure that researchers’ communications needs are fully met by the most appropriate team.

NDRC has a full suite of communications services that are available, which include, but are not limited, to:

• advertising;
• branding;
• events;
• marketing;
• newsletters;
• photography;
• print materials;
• promotional items;
• social media;
• storytelling;
• videos; and
• websites.
