Wendy Smit

I joined the Office of Public Relations and Communications at DePaul University in December 2013. As an integrated content manager, I use a variety of multimedia platforms and local and national public relations tactics to promote DePaul’s mission, values and academics. With more than nine years of public relations experience, a majority of my career was spent in Las Vegas where I successfully promoted and enhanced consumer and corporate PR campaigns that spanned many different industries including national nonprofits, healthcare, art, hospitality and entertainment. Effective campaigns and initiatives were comprised of local and national media relations, social media engagement, special events, promotions and grassroots marketing and PR strategies. Prior to moving to Las Vegas, I worked in ad sales for Fox Sports in Los Angeles. A native of Southern California, I graduated from Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles with a bachelor’s degree in business marketing and management. I also studied Italian art and business ethics through Gonzaga University in Florence, Italy.
