CMU Today guidelines

  • Approved messages will post on the CMU Today messages webpage under the day the message was submitted. 
  • Each weekday morning, faculty and staff will receive an email with a reminder to check to latest CMU Today messages on the website. There may be days where there are not messages. 
  • CMU Today is intended for messages of up to 100 words about Central Michigan University operations, resources and activities.
  • It is not intended for communication about events, although University Communications reserves the right to make exceptions. You can find and submit event-related information on the CMU Events calendar.
  • You also can send University Communications suggestions for possible coverage through the "Share your news" submission form.
  • Only current faculty and staff may submit CMU Today messages, and University Communications reviews all submissions. Messages that will not be posted include but are not limited to events, job postings, and notices pertaining only to students or a limited audience. The Student Affairs website includes information on how to submit messages for students.
  • CMU Today messages should be written in paragraph form.
  • Each message will appear only once; "reminder" messages will not be permitted.
  • University Communications reserves the right to edit or reject announcements for any reason, including noncompliance with the university's advocacy policy or solicitation and fundraising policy.
  • Also, please remember that not all employees use email or computers regularly. Reaching everyone in your intended audience may require other communication in addition to CMU Today.
