About WSU Announcements

WSU Announcements is the University's official e-mail communication service that carries short messages about WSU news, activities, policies and other topics of importance to WSU faculty and staff. All messages must be on topics considered University business.

Announcements are sent twice daily during the academic year and once per day in the summer. Emergency announcements can be sent out on an up-to-the-minute basis during emergency situations involving the health and safety of faculty, staff and students.

All announcements must be information from a WSU department, unit or recognized student organization. Each announcement must include the name of the person and the unit submitting the announcement, plus contact information including email address and telephone number.

Submitted announcements will be sent only once. To best serve our readers, we do not send the same message multiple times in a short period, even if resubmitted. However, for major University-wide events, a full announcement can be sent a week or more ahead with a brief reminder sent a day or two before the event. Similarly, when there are major changes in policies or procedures important to many employees, a series of announcements may be appropriate. If you have special circumstances, please contact Brenda Campbell at bcampbell@wsu.edu

Announcements about activities on or off campus that are co-sponsored by a WSU unit with an outside organization may be submitted, but the WSU co-sponsorship needs to be clear, and the name and contact information for the sponsoring WSU unit must be submitted.
