As a faculty expert you may be contacted directly by members of the press for a quote or commentary on a particular subject matter. To ensure that the request is from a legitimate news source and that our office is aware of all pending articles, we ask that you contact the Public Relations Office at x2726 to let us know whether or not you are participating. We may also be able to refer the reporter to other faculty experts if you are not available for comment.
