Procedures
Procedures for announcing events and stories about interesting personalities, special interests and expertise, or unique, innovative courses, projects and collaborations.
The Office of Communications and Marketing provides the following guidance for promoting your news and events to the campus community as well as the off-campus community, when appropriate. Included are easy-to-follow instructions and checklists for submitting your news. If you need assistance, please contact the News Services staff, or contact Laura Corbin (x4180).
These are abbreviated versions of guidelines found in the Wofford Marketing and Communications Policy and Procedures Manual.
The News Service will take action on these submissions only if they are submitted as indicated in these guidelines.
Wofford Web Calendar:
The Web Calendar is THE OFFICIAL Wofford calendar. All official campus events should be included. Events being held on campus by outside organizations also should be included, as they significantly impact the campus community.
Submit events to: Wofford Web Calendar, then click on ADD EVENT and fill in the appropriate information. You must use a Wofford e-mail account. The submission will be reviewed within two days (usually the same day) and, if approved, will be posted to the Calendar. You will receive a confirmation e-mail when the submission is approved. (If changes must be made after the event is posted, you must e-mail the News Service with the change.)
Daily Announcements:
Submit items for Daily Announcements (including events, announcements and lost/found items) here.
Daily Announcement guidelines:
• Announcements must be submitted no later than THE DAY BEFORE it is to be distributed (by midnight).
• Each announcement can be submitted TWICE – one time a week or so in advance of the event and once the day of the event; if it is a weekend event, it can be published on the Friday before.
• ONLY College-sponsored events are permitted (no ads, please).
• All EVENTS also should be posted to the Wofford Web calendar by following the guidelines above.
Faculty/Staff Achievements: Individuals, officers and departments wishing to provide information on professional accomplishments and activities should complete the Faculty/Staff Achievements form. Receipt of this information will be acknowledged, and the initiating party may be contacted for further information as necessary. These achievements/activities will be included in the appropriate print or online publication, and may be used for select hometown and other news release opportunities.
These will be posted within two days of receipt on the Web site for Faculty/Staff Achievements, and will be compiled for possible use in the printed version of Wofford Today.
