Office of Strategic Communications & Marketing 

The Office of Strategic Communications and Marketing at the American University Washington College of Law (AUWCL) plays a vital role in representing and promoting the law school across various platforms. Through a comprehensive range of methods and media, including advertising, branding, publications, video, social media, and website content, the Office of Strategic Communications and Marketing (STRATCOM) ensures that the diverse facets of AUWCL are effectively showcased.

A key responsibility of the office is to foster connections between AUWCL's esteemed faculty experts and journalists or producers covering current legal topics.

These media mentions come from both national and international outlets, demonstrating the global impact and recognition of AUWCL.

Additionally, STRATCOM collaborates with AUWCL's admissions offices as well as more than 20 unique programs to implement targeted marketing and outreach initiatives throughout the year.
