The Web and Visual Communication Team creates and enhances websites that are essential for conveying and accessing key University initiatives while also providing a variety of visual design strategy and content. Team members add value to projects by employing comprehensive analysis and creative strategy.

Team members contribute their expertise in project management, writing and editing, visual design, Web design, photography, video and multimedia production, information architecture, usability and accessibility standards, and site development.
