Working for the Department
The Strategic Communications portfolio enables the University of Alberta to deliver on the vision and goals outlined in the university’s strategic plan. We illustrate the value that the U of A provides to our community and to society as a whole.

We integrate the seemingly disparate initiatives into a master narrative that showcases the unique aspects of the University of Alberta.
Whether we work directly with partners on their initiatives or support their work through portfolio-initiated projects, we connect the dots from strategies across the institution – especially where they connect to the larger institutional goals – and draw them together into a compelling and consistent narrative of one of the Top 5 universities in Canada.
