**About Western**:
Since 1878, Western University has been committed to serving our communities through the pursuit of academic excellence and by providing students, faculty, and community members with life-long opportunities for intellectual, social, and cultural growth. We seek excellent students, faculty, and staff to join us in what has become known as the "Western Experience" - an opportunity to contribute to a better world through the development of new knowledge, new abilities, new connections, and new ways to make a difference.

**About Us**:
The Communications & Marketing Team within the Schulich School of Medicine & Dentistry has a mission to protect, promote, and enhance the reputation of the School locally, nationally, and internationally.

This is achieved through the development of strategic communications plans, the development, production, implementation and management of print and online publications, and communications vehicles, through social media, through strategic marketing and branding, through events and promotional activities, media relations, and the implementation of key strategies which engage students, faculty, staff, alumni, and donors.

These events are critical to the School’s mission and achievement of its vision, as well as Strategic Plan objectives and fundraising campaign goals, and this role will be responsible for planning all marketing and communications to promote and position the events to achieve success. In addition to managing the events portfolio, the role will support the management of the School’s social media accounts, and compile, edit and distribute school-wide newsletters, communications and announcements. The Communications and Events Officer is a member of the Communications & Marketing team and is engaged in all projects for marketing and planning expertise as needed.
