Problem
The University of Tulsa had national-level wins in entrepreneurship and business education, but their achievements were buried in static PDFs and fragmented storytelling.
- Recognition and funding successes lacked clear, compelling presentation
- Complex program outcomes weren’t being translated into accessible narratives
- Alumni, donors, and prospective students had no unified view of TU as a hub for innovation and global engagement
Actions
I built a consistent reporting system that elevated TU’s annual storytelling.
- Developed editorial strategy uniting financial impact, student engagement, faculty recognition, and partnerships
- Designed branded infographics to visualize funding raised, venture investments, and competition wins
- Delivered polished, publication-ready reports with modular sections for web and presentations
- Partnered with deans, directors, and communications staff to source content and refine positioning
- Balanced authoritative voice with approachable storytelling to highlight human and institutional impact
