The Office of Marketing and Communications launched an updated version of the IUP Now news page on Monday. The new site, updated every weekday, brings readers more news, more quickly, in a more readable format.
Sections of the page are devoted to feature stories, upcoming events, student and faculty achievements, media releases, bulletins from departments, colleges, and offices across campus, the Rural Health Pulse podcast, IUP Magazine, and IUP in the news.
Because IUP will be updated frequently, we recommend making it your home page.
The IUP Now newsletter will continue to be published on a weekly basis, showcasing articles and features that you won’t want to miss.
Placing news and events in IUP Now
Nothing has changed about how offices and departments can provide items for IUP Now. Post them to your website and the MarCom staff can pick them up from there for inclusion in IUP Now.
As always, post news and events as early as feasible. The cutoff for IUP Now is 10:00 a.m. to be considered for inclusion the following business day. News items posted after 10:00 a.m. will appear on your website that same day but can’t be included in IUP Now for two business days.
For events, we recommend posting them to your website calendar at least one week beforehand. This allows time for our audiences to see your event posting and puts it in consideration to be featured on IUP’s main social media channels.
Directions for posting a news article to your website and adding an event to your website calendar are available on the Digital Team’s website.
