Information for Faculty

The Media Relations team coordinates with media outlets worldwide to raise the profile of the College by offering the expertise of Barnard’s faculty and coordinating interviews on topics in the news. We also work to promote Barnard professors by highlighting faculty research, publications, projects, events, appearances and awards. We invite faculty members to contact us regarding these and other ways of contributing to the public dialogue about key issues in our society and world.

The Media Relations team works with the Provost's office to manage Barnard's Faculty Website, which includes profiles of all faculty members listed in the College's Course Catalogue and serves as a resource for journalists and others seeking academic experts.

If you would like assistance updating or editing your profile, please contact us at mediarelations@barnard.edu or 212-854-2037.

Media Interviews

If you are contacted by the media to speak about your research or on behalf of the college, please email mediarelations@barnard.edu or 212-854-2037. Barnard's media relations team is happy to help in the following ways:

On Campus Interviews

For any on campus interview, the media relations team is available to coordinate with the journalist to meet them when they arrive on campus and help them find their way to your office.

Broadcast Interviews

For interviews involving film crews, the media relations team must be notified in order to work with Public Safety to ensure that the film crew is allowed to enter campus and able to capture necessary footage without disrupting campus life. If you are asked to go to a television or radio station for an interview, the media relations team is available to accompany you and help with any logistics.

All Interviews

For any type of interview, the media relations team is available to help with any logistics, from scheduling to gathering background materials.
