The mission can be accomplished through an on-going series of activities designed to inform, educate and persuade the citizens of North Dakota, the region and the nation about the areas of excellence at NDSU. </p><p>The University Relations office provides the technical means and professional services involved in facilitating two-way communication between the university and diverse array of publics it serves through the use of mass media, publications, online technologies and audio and video productions.</p><p>Internally, the mission of University Relations is to assist the president and other administrative officers of the university in making appropriate decisions in moving toward achieving goals as set forth in the university's mission and its strategic plan.</p><p>This involves the process of better shaping, influencing and coordinating the university's image and identity, with both its external (i.e., community residents and business leaders, legislators, news media, prospective students, parents, alumni, major contributors, friends, taxpayers) and its internal publics (i.e., faculty, staff, students). These various publics have differing needs and expectations. How they perceive North Dakota State University will determine how fully they support the university, or, if they are potential students, whether they choose to attend the university.</p><p>University Relations pursues its mission by providing high-quality professional services to the university in the areas of news reporting and writing, editing, graphic design, still photography, broadcasting, videography and counseling in communications.</p></section></div> </div> </main> </div> </div> </div> <footer class="footer-dept footer-left"> <div class="container"> <section class="footer-address"> <div class="address"> <p>University Relations<br> North Dakota State University<br> Phone: +1 (701) 231-1068<br> Campus address: Old Main 204<br> Mailing address: Dept 6000 PO Box 6050, Fargo, ND 58108-6050<br> Page manager: <a href="mailto:ndsu.webmaster@ndsu.edu" title="Email" class="mail-link">NDSU Web</a></p> <p>Last Updated: Tuesday, October 15, 2024 3:13:04 PM<br /></p> </div> </section> </div> </footer> <footer class="footer-green footer-left"> <div class="container"> <section class="footer-address"> <a href="https://www.ndsu.edu" class="home-link"><img src="/fileadmin/templates/images/NDSU_logo.svg" alt="North Dakota State University" width="400" /></a> <div class="address row"> <div class="col-md-5"> <address> <p>1340 Administration Ave., Fargo, ND 58102<br> Mailing address: PO Box 6050, Fargo, ND 58108-6050</p> </address> <a href="https://www.ndsu.edu/about">About NDSU</a> </div> <div class="col-md-1"> </div> <div class="col-md-6"> <nav aria-label="University-wide resources"> <ul class="footer-links"> <li><a href="https://www.ndsu.edu/alphaindex/">A-Z Index</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.ndsu.edu/apply">Apply for admission</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.ndsu.edu/academics/">Academic programs</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.ndsu.edu/accreditation/">Accreditation</a></li> <li><a href="https://gobison.com">Bison Athletics</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.ndsu.edu/alphaindex/buildings">Campus Map</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.ndsu.edu/onestop/policies-and-procedures">Consumer Information</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.ndsu.edu/employment/">Employment</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.ndsu.edu/equity/">Equity</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.ndsu.edu/about/inclusion">Inclusion</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.ndsu.edu/onestop/finaid/netpricecalculator/">Net Price Calculator</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.ndsu.edu/onestop/">One Stop</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.ndsu.edu/agriculture/extension">Outreach<span class="sr-only"> (University-wide)</span></a></li> <li><a href="https://www.ndsu.edu/research/">Research and Creative Activity</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.ndsu.edu/policy/">University Policies</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.ndsu.edu/visit">Visit NDSU</a></li> </ul> </nav> </div> </div> <hr/> <p>North Dakota State University is an equal opportunity, affirmative action institution.<br> Contact NDSU at <a href="tel:7012318011" aria-label="7 0 1. 2 3 1. 8 0 1 1" class="phone-link">(701) 231-8011</a><br> <a class="d-print-none" href="https://www.ndsu.edu/privacy/">Privacy Statement</a> </p>   <script async src="https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtag/js?id=G-VJPGNTJ40B"></script> <script> window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || []; function gtag(){dataLayer.push(arguments);} gtag('js', new Date()); gtag('config', 'G-VJPGNTJ40B'); </script>   </section> </div> </footer> <a id="back-to-top" href="#" class="btn btn-secondary back-to-top" role="button" title="Return on the top page" data-toggle="tooltip" data-placement="left"><span class="fas fa-arrow-up"></span><span class="sr-only">Top of page</span></a> <script type="text/javascript" src="/fileadmin/templates/js/minimal.js"></script> <script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.4.1.min.js" integrity="sha256-CSXorXvZcTkaix6Yvo6HppcZGetbYMGWSFlBw8HfCJo=" crossorigin="anonymous"></script> <script src="https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.3.1/js/bootstrap.min.js" integrity="sha384-JjSmVgyd0p3pXB1rRibZUAYoIIy6OrQ6VrjIEaFf/nJGzIxFDsf4x0xIM+B07jRM" crossorigin="anonymous"></script> <script src="/fileadmin/templates/js/ndsu-2018.js?1579644437"></script> <script src="/fileadmin/templates/js/update-js.js?1717438777"></script> <script src="https://use.fontawesome.com/releases/v6.4.2/js/all.js"></script> </body> </html>
