Campus Announcements
If you wish to communicate a university message to faculty, staff and/or students via Campus Announcements, submit your details through the Campus Announcements Form. (See Guidelines for Announcements below.)
- Faculty/Staff: Announcements to faculty/staff are sent by IMC via email once a week (usually on Wednesdays). Submissions through this form must be received no later than noon on Tuesday in order to be included in the next email.
- Students: Announcements to students are delivered through the MyWSSU online student portal. Submissions through this form will be routed through appropriate staff for entry into the portal. (See Student Announcement Categories & Contacts section below.) Allow time for your request to be processed.
Events

If you would like to announce something that occurs at a specific date/time, this is considered a campus event. Examples include trainings, performances, fundraisers, and university-sponsored activities. All campus events are now published through WSSU's public web calendars:
