How do I? 

The following questions and answers will provide you with some helpful tips on working at ESF. Think of something that would be useful to add? Let us know.

To share an event through Campus News, please submit your information to the Office of Communications and Marketing via this form.

 

Campus News is distributed by the Office of Communications and Marketing and is the official channel for campus-wide communication.

Examples include formal notices regarding campus-wide events, college closings, delayed openings, early dismissals, information essential to the operation or execution of college business, important deadlines, campus-wide meetings, health and safety risks, changes in policies and procedures and notifications regarding the availability of campus services and facilities. In short, messages must pertain to the College. If you have questions, contact communications@esf.edu. Submit items here.

If you have an item that you would like posted to one of the College's social media platforms, please contact communications@esf.edu. Although we can and will respond as quickly as possible, ideally posts to social media and any required advertising will be planned in advance and built into the schedule maintained by the Office of Communications and Marketing.
