UFIC Communications


UFIC’s Communications and Marketing unit advances the Center’s mission by promoting the internationalization of the University of Florida and increasing the visibility of its programs and services. Our team leads strategic communications that strengthen the UFIC brand and expand its reach across campus and globally, highlighting international research, education, and exchange opportunities.

We manage and maintain UFIC’s digital presence, including the website and social media channels, ensuring content is current, accessible, and engaging. We produce the weekly UF Global e-newsletter to showcase international events and highlight students, faculty, and staff engaged in global work. In addition, our team provides graphic design support for publications, coordinates staff photography, and cultivates partnerships with campus, media, and community stakeholders.

UFIC MarComm also plays a central role in planning and promoting major campus-wide initiatives and signature events, such as International Education Week, Fulbright programming, and the Global Culture Photo Competition, aligning all efforts with UF’s broader global strategy.
