The award-winning Communications Department at Hudson County Community College oversees and coordinates all of the College's media, public and community relations and promotes awareness and understanding of the College's programs and services.

The Communications Department is responsible for communicating with the College's diverse audiences -- prospective students, the general public, alumni and donors (potential and existing) -- in a clear, consistent and enjoyable manner. Through press releases, publications, and print, audio and video advertisements, the Communications Department carefully conveys the College's vision, enhances its image, and disseminates information about its plans and successes.

As the College's “brand manager,” the Communications Department is charged with ensuring that there is consistency in the look and messages portrayed in all of its marketing, advertising and public relations efforts. Staff members oversee the design, writing and printing of all HCCC major departmental collateral materials, including business cards, signage, brochures, programs and flyers.
