Starting this Fall Term, the LU Insider newsletter will be getting a new look! In an effort to make it a more convenient and enjoyable communication, your friends in Communications will be working to provide more information about upcoming events, University news, accomplishments worth celebrating, and other fun and useful tidbits along with the usual announcements.
New Submission Guidelines
- Deadline: All submissions for the Thursday morning LU Insider are due Wednesday at noon.
- Submissions: Designated staff members from across campus can submit posts by logging in here. If you would like to submit a post but do not have access, contact Mackenzie.m.huber@lawrence.edu
- Frequency: No announcement will be allowed to appear in consecutive LU Insider newsletters. Submit announcements strategically.
- Events: To have an event listed in the “Events Next Week” section of the LU Insider newsletter, it must be on the Events Calendar. The Office of Communications reserves the right to curate the list for length. Recurring events will not appear in the section. Posts that are strictly public event announcements will no longer be included as LU Insider posts.
- Headlines: Write headlines with a purpose so that people get the main idea of the announcement from the headline.
- First Sentence(s): The first sentence or two of a post should mention all essential information and details.
- Photos and Graphics: For the sake of accessibility, no graphics or photos with text will be allowed in LU Insider posts unless all the information is also written as text in the post. Photos are welcome at the end of posts as long as alt text is included.
- Category and Audience: Always select the proper category for the post before submitting for approval. The LU Insider will no longer be separated into student and faculty/staff emails, so make sure content is appropriate for all audiences. Before submitting for approval, continue to select intended audience(s), as faculty/staff announcements will be denoted.
