For the Saint Mary’s Community

Share Your Stories

We are always looking for stories within our community, so we can work hard to engage media outlets to share them in print and digital platforms. If you have a story, research expertise or an opinion you would like to share with the media, our team can assist with writing press releases and editorial pieces, preparing videos and photos and then sharing them in an engaging and compelling way. Faculty and staff can submit a Project Intake Form.

Media Training

Our team can help prepare members of the university to speak with the media.  Through training and interview tips, our goal is to refine your story for a general audience while being strategically engaging with the media. Email Delia.MacPherson@smu.ca to request a media training session.

Photography and Video

We can help you find excellent photographers and videographers to help you tell your story more effectively and professionally.
