Need Help?

Announcements are a great way to share news within the College of Law community. An announcement could focus on COL events, student opportunities, student organizations, faculty updates, and more.

All faculty, staff, and students can submit an announcement which will go through an editing process; if the announcement is approved, it will appear on the College of Law website.

In addition to the following guidelines, all announcements must be submitted no later than Thursday at 5 p.m. to be included in the following week's newsletter.

Announcements Rules & Guidelines

  1. Announcements should be focused on sharing information relevant to students, faculty and staff at the College of Law. Before submitting an announcement for an event, please be certain that the date, time and location have been confirmed.
     
  2. College of Law announcements will not include political opinions or serve as official statements on behalf of Georgia State University or the University System of Georgia.
     
  3. Events must be submitted to the calendar to be promoted and included in the weekly student newsletter. Announcement submissions regarding events will be deleted if the event has not been submitted to the Law Calendar events.
     
  4. The College of Law Communications staff has the authority to edit or delete posts, as necessary.
     
  5. Copyright and trademark laws still apply in digital spaces. Be sure you have the right to use any images you upload with your posts. If you quote an article or excerpt from a book, please attribute the original source in the announcement.
     
  6. The best announcements are clear, concise and contain a call-to-action. Think about your overall goal. What do you want people to do after they read your content? Register for an event? Be sure to include a hyperlink identifying the call-to-action.
     
  7. Titles with verbs and/or a call to action tend to draw more attention. For example: “Register for the SBA Conference."
