At Concordia University, our Marketing & Communications team serves as the storytellers and stewards of the Concordia brand. We shine a light on the voices of our students, faculty, staff, and alumni so the world can see the difference a Christ-centered education can make.
Our work is anchored in the university’s mission: to help students grow in mind, body, and spirit for service to Christ in the Church and the world. Through our work, we invite others to see, share, and join in Concordia’s mission.
