Publish an Announcement

Announcements are text-based online posts specifically for our campus communities. Announcement posts appear on the public-facing website but are not indexed by Google and won’t show up in external search results for the university. Where they will show up is on the “Information for Students” and “Information for Employees” landing pages, as well as in the weekly student and employee e-newsletter that sent to our campus communities each Thursday morning.

Announcements do not require pre-approval from web administrators to publish, but please note, we do monitor these posts for appropriateness. Announcements should relate to university business or information; no personal posts. (This isn’t the place to tell folks you’re looking for a babysitter or hosting a garage sale.) Announcements also should follow university style guidelines for editorial contents.

Submit a News/Feature Story

News/Feature posts are designed for our external audiences, including prospective students, families, alumni, friends and the broader community. 

News/Feature posts appear on our primary news landing page and can be pushed to topic-specific newsfeeds by using tags.

News/Feature posts are reviewed by web administrators in Marketing & Communications before publication. All posts should be of high interest to specific external audiences and must follow university style guidelines. They also need to include a headline, summary, high-quality photo. A call to action — whether it is an opportunity for readers to learn more, apply to Pacific, make a donation, attend an event, or otherwise engage int eh university — are strongly recommended.

The university calendar at pacificu.edu is your one-stop source for campus and university events.

All events that are open to students, employees, or external community members should have a post on the calendar. This not only helps you promote your event to your audience, it also allows others at the university to share your event. Additionally, calendar entry give our community a broad picture of campus life, and they help internal community members plan and avoid conflicts.

Calendar entries are reviewed by web administrators in Marketing & Communications before publication. All entries should include: 

• Time, date, and location of the event | This information will be built into the event post fields and also should be included in your text about the event. Be sure you’ve booked your location before posting to the calendar.
• A description of the event | Help your potential guests understand what the event is about and what to expect when they attend
• Information about who is invited to the event | Be clear if your event is for students or employees only. If the event is open to the public, say so explicitly.
• Registration or ticket information | Let people know how to attend your event. We recommend registration or tickets for public-facing events. Learn more about online ticketing/registration options.
• Contact information | Be sure your calendar post includes information about who is hosting the event (individuals, offices or clubs), as well as who guests can contact for more information.

Employee Pages

All faculty and staff members at Pacific have the opportunity to create and update their own employee page.

Employee pages are a way to highlight individual employees, feed department/unit employee lists, and provide information about an individual's work scope or areas of expertise.
