Resources for the Media

Media Inquiries

Media inquiries are welcome at Hollins. Our Marketing and Communications department will work to connect reporters with our relevant faculty experts and administrators based on the topic at hand. For assistance, please email Director of Public Relations Jeff Hodges at jhodges@hollins.edu or call 540-362-6503.

We Would Love to Tell Your Story!

If you are a student, a faculty member, or someone on our staff, we encourage you to reach out with your story ideas and/or photos. Be sure to include the who, what, when, where, and why. If you have an external media outlet in mind, be sure to include that, too.

Academic and Scholarly Achievements

Hollins faculty and staff members: Our news section regularly celebrates and spotlight your achievements, be it in publishing, presenting at a conference, receiving outside recognition, or in other ways. We are always looking for more ways to highlight our incredible teaching faculty and committed staffers, so please keep us in mind and informed.

Student Accomplishments

Our students are incredible. Their achievements are a routine part of our news section, and we’re always looking for more opportunities to celebrate them as individuals or in their group efforts. Keep us in the loop so we can spread the news!
