The director of communications manages the internal and external communications for the School of Dentistry, including the School of Dentistry’s primary publication, DentalUM, other official print and electronic publications, the School’s Web site and media relations. 

In addition, our goal is to enhance our institutional reputation and promote public and professional awareness through news releases, social media, video and podcasts.

The University of Michigan name and graphic identity are important parts of building and presenting our image. The director of communications works with individuals, departments and units to ensure adherence to the School of Dentistry’s editorial and graphic identity standards and the appropriate use of logos and U-M wordmarks on any media produced (publications, brochures, advertising) on behalf of the School of Dentistry and all of its programs. Information related to these standard can be found on the  Logos, Wordmarks, and Writing Standards Web page.

Inquiries and comments should be directed to Sharon Grayden, director of communications.
