The Office of University Communications and Marketing has developed this tool to share news of faculty and staff accomplishments. Submitting this form creates a draft story on the back-end of our newsroom that UCM staff can make any needed small edits to prior to publication. Please note that it is intended that you submit fully written stories of 100-300 words needing little to no editing, and not simply ideas for stories. Examples of style and substance we expect to receive through this tool can be found at http://bit.ly/2UI1Ycf and http://bit.ly/2SAIQKJ. UCM staff will check for new stories weekly and make any needed small edits prior to publication.
