The quickest and easiest way to ensure a timely response is to email media-request@uiowa.edu, which goes directly to several team members.  

Please direct inquires involving the UI Office of Campus Safety to Hayley Bruce, assistant director for strategic communication and external relations for campus safety.

Members of the media are encouraged to contact the Office of Strategic Communication before conducting interviews or filming footage. The OSC team can make the newsgathering process easier by providing access to campus buildings and newsmakers.

As a state institution, journalists have access to public areas across the University of Iowa campus. However, you must contact our office before entering residence halls or classrooms unless a specific faculty member has granted permission to visit their classroom.
