Media Guide text with image that represents sharing in social media

Lourdes University welcomes the opportunity to share the latest news about the institution.

Media Relations serves as a liaison between Lourdes University and the local media. The University requests all media outlets to respect the privacy of Lourdes students and employees and submit their requests for interviews, access and information through Briana Peters, Marketing & Communications Specialist, at bpeters@lourdes.edu.

Likewise, students who are approached directly by the media must refer them to the Office of Marketing & Communications to facilitate their requests. By contacting the department first, we can properly facilitate any requests, and to direct media to the appropriate personnel and location. A Marketing & Communications member must be present when a Lourdes University student meets with or is interviewed by the media. The department can assist the student with preparation before meeting with the media.

Media Relations is responsible for:

  • Creating news releases and publicizing news via media outlets and social media
  • Contributing articles to internal and external publications
  • Copywriting, editing and proofreading
