We are UW-Whitewater’s resource for communications and brand strategies, storytelling, media relations, graphic design, website management, social media and more. Our office leads strategic efforts to increase awareness of the university and its broad impact.
Looking for a campus story? You’ll find it in the story archive. We also manage the university’s digital asset management system, a searchable archive of thousands of high-quality photos, campus logos and other artifacts. We’re also here to answer any questions about licensing, brand and visual identity. In addition, we produce Warhawk News and Events, an e-newsletter regularly sent out to all faculty, staff and students.
Our team is nationally recognized for excellence. In 2026, the University Branding and Communications team collected six national Collegiate Advertising Awards, the third most in the country for an institution of our size. UBC was recognized in special video production, sports advertising, student viewbook, fundraising campaign, billboard design, and direct mail.
Willie Warhawk brings positive energy to any event. The official mascot of the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater is a key brand pillar and one of our most recognized Warhawks. Looking for more information? You’re in the right place.
