Submit your news, events to Juice
|
When you need to inform campus of something — whether an event, news, request, or other item — submit it to the Juice using our online form. This newsletter comes out each Monday when classes are in session and other times as needed. Submissions are due by 4 p.m. Thursday for the following Monday. If you have items that are urgent or need special attention, please contact Alan Simmer directly.
|
|
Add your events to Campus Calendar
|
The Campus Calendar displays online and on the TV screens around campus. If you have an event planned, be sure to submit it using our online form. You can also submit to the Juice at the same time!
|
|
Reserve space for your events
|
If you’re planning something, you can request room reservations online. Please note that adding your item to the Campus Calendar or submitting it to the Juice does not reserve your space. |

Print Center changes business card process, pricing
|
The Print Center will now handle business cards internally rather than using a vendor. Anyone can submit their information through an online form to request new cards, and you can now request lower quantities for your order.
Prices for some items have also been adjusted due to considerable cost increases for ink and paper in the past couple years. When reprinting projects from previous years or submitting new jobs, you may see different pricing than expected on your request.
Please contact the Print Center or your account executive in Marketing & Communication with any questions.
