This group, managed by the Office of Marketing and Communications, brings together UMD staff with a marketing or communications job function. It serves as a hub for cross-campus collaboration and professional development. 

How to Join

Send an email to omc@umd.edu with your request. You’ll be added to our group email list and automatically receive communications and event invites. UMD staff requesting access must have a marketing or communications job function. 

 

Using the Group Email

Anyone in the group can send a message to members using a member-exclusive email address to share:

  • Toolkits and to request amplification of a priority initiative or event;
  • Professional development opportunities offered by the university or relevant industry associations;
  • Ideas for collaboration and brainstorm creative solutions.

While engagement is encouraged, members are asked to respond individually to original posters.

 

LinkedIn Group

The UMD Communicators LinkedIn Group is a private group where employees can share best practices, ask questions and exchange ideas. It complements, not replaces, the group email. Request access to join. Once you submit your request, a group administrator will review and approve it.

 

Meetings and Events

The Communicators Group convenes at least once a semester at a meeting hosted by the Office of Marketing and Communications. Ad hoc training and workshops are also provided throughout the year. Upcoming meeting invitations are shared directly with members.
