UT Announce

UT Announce is a weekly newsletter sent every Monday to keep faculty and staff updated on campus events. To be included, submit content by noon on the Thursday before the desired issue. Submissions should be no longer than 300 words or can be a flier with all relevant details. Each event can be featured in two messages: one in advance and a reminder closer to the date. For emergencies like water, power, or IT outages, email UTannounce@utahtech.edu with the exact message you want sent to faculty and staff. Ensure you follow the full UT Announce Guidelines listed below, as noncompliant submissions will be excluded. For questions, contact UTnews@utahtech.edu.

 

UT Announce Guideline Highlights

  • Messages sent on UT Announce must regard official University business.
  • The content of UT Announce messages must be applicable to the vast majority of all faculty and staff. Messages with niche audiences, such as just faculty, just staff, or students, or messages that are relevant to a tracked audience should be sent directly to the appropriate audience, not UT Announce.
  • All UT Announce messages are collected each week and sent to all faculty and staff in a newsletter format every Monday.
  • To be included in Monday’s UT Announce, content must be submitted by noon on the prior Thursday.
  • Content must be submitted the week before you want it to go out.
  • Announcements appear in the order they are received.
  • Submissions can be no more than 300 words and must include important details like time, date, place, and cost of events. If an announcement cannot be confined to 300 words, provide a link to a webpage or flier. Bulleted lists are a great way to submit a large amount of information in a small number of words. UMAC reserves the right to end messaging at the 300 word mark.
  • Fliers are a great way to submit content. It is encouraged that all relevant information is included on the flier and no additional text (except contact information for the person to reach for more details) is submitted.
  • All fliers should be formatted at 6 inches by 6 inches and not include font size smaller than 12.
  • Contact information for a person to reach for more details must be included with every submission.
  • Submissions are not edited. Please verify all information, dates, spellings, etc., are correct before submitting. Corrections will not be sent out.
  • Campus entities can submit links to their full newsletters to be included in the UT Announce newsletter. Messages that provide informational updates, including links to newsletters, will not be sent on UT Announce more frequently than once per month for each department.
  • Only two UT Announce messages will be approved per event — one in advance and a reminder closer to the date. For series of events, event organizers may submit an initial request outlining the entire series and one submission for each individual event. If information is submitted more than twice, the first two submissions will be included and additional requests will be disregarded.
  • When sending visuals via UT Announce, follow Utah Tech’s branding standards for logos, fonts, and imagery.
  • Please follow all guidelines and instructions closely; if your announcement doesn’t meet the requirements, it will not be included in the newsletter.
