All media requests must be made through the University Communications/Marketing office. However, we recognize that media members might reach out to you directly. In that case, please notify University Communications/Marketing so we’re aware. 

All news releases are required to be sent out by University Communications, as well as requests for media coverage.  For releases, media coverage, calendar requests, webpage changes, and other requests, please fill our online work order form and include all pertinent information. You will receive a confirmation email when the form is submitted with a link to upload more documents if needed. Save that message and reply all to it for further communication. We request a minimum of two weeks (10 working days) to send out a news release. Some media outlets require more time for events.

Requirements for a submitted news release

All public-facing promotional material must be reviewed by the University Communications/Marketing office. To request a review, fill out our online work order form and upload your file(s). If you don’t have time to create your own promotional material, we will be happy to do it for you. Please fill the form out and upload all the information/artwork you would like to have included. You will receive a confirmation email when the form is submitted with a link to upload more documents if needed. Save that message and reply all to it for further communication.
