Brandon Chapman joined the College of Education in August, 2013. He helps share the great things accomplished at the College of Education. Perhaps it’s leading research. Perhaps it’s scholarly publications. Maybe it’s a great story about a faculty, staff member, or student. Whatever the case, it’s Brandon’s job to get the word out there, to both internal and external sources. He oversees the college’s website, media efforts, news releases, podcast, video podcast, social media, photography, and videography.
His committees at WSU include the MLK Committee, the Corporate Engagement Council, and the System Strategic Planners Council.
Brandon has 20+ years experience in marketing and communications, including with the Department of Early Learning, various local radio stations and TV stations, The Seattle Post-Intelligencer, and Sports Illustrated. He most recently headed PR and media relations efforts for Longview Fibre Paper and Packaging.
He spent two seasons (2006 and 2007) as a professional baseball play-by-play broadcaster.
Brandon received his master’s degree in broadcast journalism from Syracuse University’s prestigious S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications.
