What is the CSUCI News Center?
The CSUCI News Center is an online digital news hub featuring campus news, awards and recognition, student-focused events/activities, and HR-related announcements for employees.
Can I submit a past event to feature photos and a recap?
No. The News Center only features upcoming campus events.
Who can access the News Center?
The News Center is a public webpage, accessible by anyone on the internet, or anyone who can navigate our website. Due to this, the information posted to the News Center needs to be relevant to members of the campus community (students/faculty/staff and/or external constituents).
How do I submit my information?
You can submit a posting to the News Center via our C&PR Request for Services form.
What type of information is needed for submissions?
Primary details to be provided should include the four W’s: who, what, where and when. This information will be included for your news or event on the News Center. Please include as much detail as possible.
Why is so much information marked as required?
To ensure we are providing accurate information to the campus, it is important to have relevant event details or announcement information. Additionally, it is standard practice to have an event contact (name/phone/email) so readers have a direct source to contact for further information.
Your form states submissions are reviewed weekly. Can you clarify the turnaround time?
Yes. Submissions are reviewed in the order they are received, on a weekly basis. C&PR
will make every effort to post content within 48 hours of receipt, but occasionally
there may be delays. Weekends and holidays are not included. Submissions received
on a Friday will post the following week. Additionally, posts received the day before
a holiday will post the following business day when the campus re-opens.
If you are concerned with the turnaround time for your submission, you may follow
up with our team by sending an email to csuci.news@csuci.edu.
My event location changed. How do I get the information updated on the webpage?
You can contact us at csuci.news@csuci.edu and we can make the needed changes, i.e. date, time, location. It is up to the organizer/requester to notify C&PR of changes needed.
Our event is being sponsored by an external organization. Can I submit their logo as the image/artwork?
No. All logos or artwork included with the submission need to be University-related. Sponsor logos, Google images, etc. will not be accepted forms of artwork. External sponsors may be mentioned as text within the submission.
Photographs are acceptable, provided they are related to the event or announcement and are a minimum of 600x600 or 600x400 pixels.
I submitted a 200-word article, but I noticed it was edited down. Why is this?
Communication & Public Relations reviews all News Center submissions and retains the right to edit submissions as necessary. If you have questions about something that was edited please direct questions to csuci.news@csuci.edu.
I noticed my submission is no longer on the News Center homepage, but I submitted the content a few days ago.
Submissions are posted on a weekly basis and appear in chronological order. The volume of submissions varies from day to day, so there are times when a submission will appear on the main News Center webpage for an entire week or sometimes less, depending on the number of campus submissions.
It is important to note that content remains available after the item is no longer on the homepage of the News Center. You can access older News Center posts by clicking "More News" at the bottom of the main News Center page.
