Important change to Juice policy
|
We’re changing the way that items are submitted to be included in The Juice, to make the process more efficient. Effective immediately, all items submitted for The Juice must be sent via the form at this link. If you email your item to the Juice email, you will be asked to re-submit your item using the form. (The link is also included in the gray box at the end of every Juice email.) Please remember to keep your item short and include necessary information such as when and where. If you have an item that needs to be sent to the campus community urgently, please email Juice@wartburg.edu.
|
|
Today's edition is the final regular Juice of the term. Regular editions will begin again Monday, Jan. 10, at the start of Winter Term. Please submit your items by 4 p.m. Thursday each week to be included.
