Four months before the event

One to two months before the event

_____ Submit your event to Campus Digest. Include photos, charts and other graphics to make your item more visually appealing. Check the publication schedule at http://campusdigest.nku.edu/pubdates.php to be sure you submit before the deadline of the Campus Digest closest to your event’s date.

One month before the event

_____ Submit a press release or all of the information about the event to Chris Cole at colec@nku.edu so a press release can be written.

_____ Submit a 75-words-or-fewer item to http://www.nku.edu/~midweek/submissions.htm (or directly to midweek@nku.edu if the website is unavailable). This is a “save the date” item. You’ll send a similar (but not identical) announcement one week prior to your event.

Three weeks before the event

_____ Submit an item for the Nunn Drive/U.S. 27 electronic sign at http://www.nku.edu/~conference/nku/esign_form.htm.

_____ Submit an item for the electronic sign outside the University Center facing the plaza to bridewellt@nku.edu (12 words or fewer, runs for up to two weeks).

One to two weeks before the event

_____ If the event is targeted to students, submit an item to studentlife@nku.edu for inclusion in N3. N3 comes out every Monday, so your item should be submitted no later than the Friday before the Monday before your event.

Five to seven days before the event

_____ Submit a similar but not identical 75-words-or-fewer item to http://www.nku.edu/~midweek/submissions.htm (or directly to midweek@nku.edu if the website is unavailable). This item needs to include a compelling reason that people should attend.
