Experts @ CU

---

Many Concord University faculty and staff are available to serve as a resource to the media in their particular field of interest or area of expertise.  You may contact faculty or staff directly, or you may contact Director of Public Relations/Marketing, Anita Moody, to set up an appointment (1-304-384-5288, news@concord.edu).

Concord University also maintains an archive of high quality photographs of faculty, staff, and students.  Some images are already posted on our web site.  Or, contact the Public Relations office for something more specific.  All that we ask is that you credit CONCORD UNIVERSITY for the photograph.
