External Communications serves as the College's primary liaison with the media. Our media relations team is responsible for disseminating public information; facilitating interviews with students, faculty, and staff; seeking positive coverage of the College's programs and activities; and responding to requests from journalists and media outlets. We make every effort to accommodate members of the media interested in attending campus events or otherwise covering the College.

The College welcomes members of the press to public events on our campus. Journalists who wish to attend an event at Medgar Evers College should contact the Office of Communications and Marketing at least 24 hours in advance in order to facilitate their visit.

Broadcast news crews are allowed to film on campus with permission of the Office of Communications and Marketing. The College reserves the right to place reasonable limitations on media access, which may include restricting cameras and recording devices, requiring press credentials, or coordinating a press pool.

MEC event organizers who wish to contact members of the external media in order to request press coverage or invite journalists should coordinate in advance with the Office of Communications and Marketing. Such notification will enable Medgar Evers College to accommodate media coverage in the appropriate manner.

Members of the media, including student journalists acting in their official capacity, may not be granted access to campus activities where confidentiality is required.
