IS&T Communications Team

Overview

The primary purpose of Information Services and Technology (IS&T) Strategic Communications is to create a unified identity for the organization; increase the visibility of our products and services; and promote our presence inside and outside of the MIT community.

Considering the scope of IS&T’s responsibilities, often accomplished within a framework of limited resources, effective communications -- both internal and external -- are key to our success. Implementing a coordinated and integrated approach to conveying clear, consistent, and timely information across IS&T, will ultimately maximize our resources, minimize duplication, and support the flow of information in various directions.

With the proper branding (logo and messages), coordination, and quality control of our communications efforts, clients will gain a clearer understanding of our organization, and the services provided by IS&T. We will establish a community presence for IS&T, and our identity will be reinforced with every point of contact.
