The Office of Communications is here to tell the story of Knox College—our academic excellence, our student and faculty achievements, our alumni accomplishments, our storied history, and our promising future.

We are a team of talented professionals and student employees who write stories, take photographs, build websites, produce videos, promote events, design everything from buttons to brochures to banners, tweet, work with local and national media, and oversee the College's brand.

We work closely with offices and departments on campus to help them meet their communication goals, offering creative solutions that reflect the College's reputation for academic excellence and its commitment to diversity, equity, inclusivity, and sustainability.

We do our best work when we have plenty of time to discuss, plan, and implement a project, asking questions and working to meet each project's needs and goals. If you're interested in working with us, we encourage you to contact us early and often—we mean it when we say it's never too early to start a project!

We look forward to working with you.
