Advertising

NTID advertisements appear in national publications, in print, electronic and social media, on television and anywhere an ad will be effective and advance the college’s mission. Our team can help you create an ad and develop an advertising message with a call to action, and you can get advice about where to place your ad for maximum exposure and best outcomes.

Media Relations

Media Relations is a liaison between RIT/NTID and external media, pitching and writing stories of interest about our students, faculty, staff or NTID in general. This includes being accessible for outside newspaper, magazine, television or radio reporters and connecting them with experts on campus who may give interviews or provide written information that assists reporters with specific stories related to RIT/NTID.  

The Media Relations staff is here to work with our students, faculty and staff who may be asked to provide information to the media. Please use the form below to notify Media Relations of any media requests or visits on campus. This will allow us to ensure the appropriate individual is being interviewed, monitor what might be printed or broadcast, enable communication in an appropriate setting, and provide interpreters if needed.
