University Relations (UR) leads the university community in promoting the talent, expertise, accomplishments, and resources of George Mason University as a world-class institution of higher education.

UR promotes public appreciation and support for the university by publicizing the people, programs, and events through a wide variety of activities, including media relations, web communications, special events, community outreach, and print publications.

To help achieve this goal, UR provides professional marketing and communications services for the Mason community.

Creative Services provides photographic services and designs print publications, including the university catalog. Web Communications offers web development services, which include web site design and electronic publications, including the online university catalog. Christine LaPaille is the vice president of University Relations.
