Keep up with all the marketing and communications initiatives at the University of Washington and interact with all your marketing colleagues from all three campuses. The group gathers quarterly to share ideas and resources, hear from industry experts and to collaborate on marketing opportunities.

Please join us Thursday, September 4 at 2:00 p.m. for the Marketing & Communications Roundtable in Alder Auditorium on the Seattle campus with the option for Zoom participation. In-person attendance is highly encouraged.

We will welcome Joe Dacca, the UW’s new Vice President for External Affairs, and Courtney Acitelli, Senior Director of UW Impact, a program of the UW Alumni Association, as our featured speakers. Jack Martin will facilitate a discussion with Joe and Courtney about the federal and state policy environments, as well as the UW’s priorities for policymakers, before opening the discussion for your questions.
