The mission of the Office of Public Affairs at SUNY New Paltz is to assure that the public image of the university reflects the strategic objectives of the university. To be successful, Public Affairs staff count on involvement and partnership from all corners of the campus community.
As an office, we are responsible for carrying out planned communications programs designed to disseminate information about the university, its people, and its programs through the college's Web site, in our own publications, through the media, and in various public forums in a tasteful, truthful, positive, and professional manner.
We manage:
- Campus Updates for faculty and staff
- General news and event releases [how to | view releases]
- The college's main Web site, www.newpaltz.edu, and departmental sites
- my.newpaltz.edu, in collaboration with Computer Services
- Public service announcements
- All media inquiries
- SUNY New Paltz Experts Database
- News Pulse
- Campus closure information/announcements
- RSS Feeds
- The Welcome Center in the Haggerty Administration Building lobby
