Media & Communications

The Office of Strategic Marketing and Communications is a professional staff of storytellers.

We thrive on sharing tales about Peddie’s people, history and traditions and the ways we see Peddie changing the lives of teenagers every single day. We tell Peddie’s story with words, photos and videos in both print and digital communications. The storytellers manage peddie.org, schoolwide social media accounts and our award-winning magazine, The Chronicle.

Media Requests

Peddie is committed to fostering transparency and cooperation with media organizations reporting on noteworthy events involving our institution. Journalists seeking information, quotes or interviews should contact Director of Strategic Marketing and Communications Wendi Patella at wpatella@peddie.org or (609) 944-7678.

To protect the integrity of our campus environment and the privacy of our students and employees, photographers, videographers or filmmakers wishing to capture images on our campus must obtain prior approval from the Strategic Marketing & Communications Office.
