Each university has a director responsible for managing the university's public affairs and external communication. In some universities this role also oversees the institution's marketing, government relations, advancement and/or alumni activities. Each university's director of public relations / communications is indicated below.

This list is intended to facilitate contact with directors of public relations at individual universities, rather than allow mass distribution of material. Organisations wishing to distribute material more widely should contact our office for advice.
