Campus Connections Redesign

Campus Connections is for promoting events/information to faculty/staff only. Other requests will not be included.

We are pleased to share that Campus Connections will debut a refreshed design and streamlined look this fall, aimed at enhancing your reading experience and improving overall engagement.

What鈥檚 changing:

A cleaner, more modern visual design
Improved readability and streamlined layout
A more intuitive, user-friendly experience
Enhanced content presentation

Biggest changes to expect:

Event details will no longer appear in full within the body of the newsletter. Your content will be limited to 500 characters. Your event listings will now be accessible via a link to the official university calendar and, when available, to a dedicated events web page.
By linking to event listings externally, we are able to deliver a more concise and readable newsletter, and boost event visibility in Google Search, while still providing access to all event information in one centralized location.
To ensure consistency with branding guidelines, independently designed flyers will no longer be accepted. Moving forward, you are welcome to submit photos related to your event listing, if available.

What鈥檚 staying the same:

The content submission process
The quality and reliability of our content
The core purpose and voice of Campus Connections
