Along with the majority of university offices, the UTIA Office of Marketing and Communications will be closed December 22 – 26, 2025 and January 1-2, 2026 for the university winter break. As you prepare to submit any project requests, please take into account that we too will be enjoying time with family and friends, and the closing will affect project timelines. We wish you a very happy holiday!

What type of Extension Publication are you submitting?
I have started the Extension Publication Authorization Form.
A publication author should complete their part of the form before submitting a publication to our office. It is required for all PB, SP, and W publications. The form can be found online.
When should your project be completed? If the requested due date falls outside our lead times for different projects, please explain in the field below. For projects related to events, projects driven by grant deadlines, and other special circumstances, our team will work as quickly as possible. We encourage clients to schedule projects as far in advance as possible to help us meet your needs and deadlines.
Be as descriptive as possible. What is the goal for this project? Is it related to an event? Who is your intended audience? Is there anything else you would like us to know?

Any images provided to our office must be properly sourced. Guidelines and information can be found online.
