Campus Announcements

If you have news to share with our campus community, there are two main ways to do so: The Juice or a special broadcast email. Announcements can also be posted on department websites, social media, or, if newsworthy, can be submitted to emily.christensen@wartburg.edu for campus- and community-wide distribution.

If your need is urgent, please reach out directly to Strategic Marketing & Communication staff for timely assistance.

The Juice

The official campus newsletter, The Juice, publishes twice each week when classes are in session. A calendar for the upcoming week is sent at 6 p.m. Sunday, with announcements and other news sent at 6 a.m. Tuesday; for either edition, the deadline for inclusion is 4 p.m. Thursday.

What goes in The Juice:

• Upcoming events, deadlines, and other calendar items.
• Announcements and other news items.
• Opportunities for scholarships, grants, on-campus jobs, etc.
• Professional accomplishments (publications, conference presentations, etc.).
• Condolences (current employee, former employee, immediate family of current employee with employee’s explicit permission).

Please keep your submitted item short, no longer than one paragraph. All submissions will be edited and condensed. Items about off-campus events or events held here by off-campus groups do not qualify to run in The Juice unless a department or campus organization is an official sponsor.

If time allows, submissions will run twice. Faculty and staff receive all news so they are better equipped to answer student questions, but students do not receive items only of interest to college employees. The Juice is an official communication of the college, so faculty, staff, and students cannot unsubscribe from it using a wartburg.edu email address. Email juice@wartburg.edu with questions.

Special Broadcast Email

Generally speaking, broadcast email is appropriate for messages that:

• Relate to changes in campus policy or time-sensitive issues.
• Inform a select group of people (e.g., college employees, students, etc.) or an announcement or event related to their specific role within the college.

Announcements not meeting the following criteria should use other methods such as The Juice, the college calendar, and department web pages for distribution. Please reach out to Strategic Marketing & Communication if you need to send an email of this type.
