Coordination teams
The Division of Communications and Marketing leads and supports a variety of coordination groups across the institution in service of our strategic, consistent brand identity and communications practices.
One Voice Team
The One Voice Team was formed to assist in coordinating general university communications across our auxiliary units and campuses. This group is also the team who monitors K-State's brand perception in the market and coordinates accordingly.

Ad Hoc Marketing and Communications Team
The Ad Hoc Marketing and Communications Team was formed in 2019 as a direct result of the university's Strategic Enrollment Management (SEM) initiative. The team identifies marketing needs across our campuses and works to resolve them in practice, or by elevating them to the university's SEM leadership team.
