To Report an Event, Program, Story of Scholarship

Events should be reported at least four to six weeks in advance, or as soon as you are aware of the event/situation.
Please use the Project Request form* to notify the media relations team of possible news items, or contact Allison Oster, public relations manager, at (626) 815-4518 or via email at aoster@apu.edu.

University Experts
What does it mean to serve as an expert? Faculty, staff, and administrators can serve as experts to media contacts in their individual areas of expertise. Reporters continuously contact the media relations team looking for experts to discuss subjects related to current trends.
Faculty, staff, and administration can visit www.apu.edu/media/experts to see APU’s online expert directory. The database provides each individual’s area of expertise, educational background, and position at APU. Please fill out and submit the expert directory questionnaire if you are interested in being part of the directory. Experts, feel free to contact us if you have questions or to update your information.
