About University Relations

Seton Hall University’s Division of University Relations shares the Seton Hall story with diverse internal and external stakeholders through compelling and persuasive communications and events. Both independently and through cross-campus partnerships, the Division works collaboratively to deliver messaging through multiple channels to gain understanding and support for Seton Hall as a major, Catholic university.

What’s Our Role?

Comprised of the departments of University Communications and Government Relations, our team of professionals supports the Seton Hall community and performs two key roles, grounded in the University’s strategic plan, Harvest Our Treasures:

  • Lead Seton Hall’s comprehensive, integrated, strategic communications focused on achieving institutional objectives for the University and its colleges and schools, including all branding, integrated marketing, media relations, crisis communications and related initiatives.
     
  • Serve as the University’s chief representative to local, state, and national government. Develop and direct the operation of policies, procedures and programs addressing federal, state, and local government relations and public-policy issues.
