Media Team

PR, Graphics, and Web Design are 3 separate components of our media team. While PR manages timely publication of events, initiatives, resources by AAC committees and platforms on and off campus through social media or other means and engages with the student body through innovative and creative methods, Graphics designs visual posts for AAC platforms and committees that are informative, inclusive, and accessible to all students. Web Design innovates AAC, through the website you are navigating now, with AAC information and events in addition to resources available to students. Other times, Web Design also captures photos of AAC events for website and social media platforms.
