Style Guidelines
An effective announcement is easy to read and gets right to the point. A few tips:
  1. Use a straightforward headline
  2. Keep the description to 60 words
  3. Include essential details (e.g., deadlines, contact info)
  4. Provide a link to more details (e.g., a page on your Web site)
  5. Use standard capitalization (avoid "all caps")
  6. Check spelling, especially of people's names, book titles, etc.
  7. Check URLs and email addresses

Add an Announcement

Announcements for the Web gateways must be related to College business and originate from a department or official student organization. Please keep in mind that these announcements will be visible to the general public, so check your spelling, grammar, and accuracy before submitting. See the guidelines at the right.

Announcements will be reviewed before being posted, and will be posted within two business days of being submitted. Requests that are complete and follow all of the guidelines are usually posted within a day or less.

Events should be posted to the MHC Events Calendar. Job listings and personal matters (such as items for sale or ride requests) will not be accepted; they should be posted as appropriate to JobX, a departmental or personal Web site, and/or the MHC newsgroups.

Announcements are listed in reverse chronological order. If your announcement is time sensitive, you may wish to post a reminder at some point after the original announcement.

If you have any questions, please contact the Office of Communications.
