The Pulse: Editorial Guidelines

The Pulse is a weekly campus email for the Center for Health Sciences’ students, faculty and staff. Content for the email is geared toward high-level information beneficial for the majority of these targeted audiences. Published on Monday morning, the Pulse has the following guidelines for submitted content:

Audience:

Information submitted should benefit the entire campus community; at the very least information should benefit CHS faculty and staff, as campus life has other channels to reach the student audience.

Examples of appropriate content include:

Feature story ideas: major campus annoucement, research endeavors, human interest stories etc.
Events: campus-wide events will be noted in the Pulse up to two times prior to the event but must also be submitted to the CHS Calendar web page
Awards: major research grant awards and other accomplishments of note
Media coverage: significant CHS news coverage

Content Approval:

Final editorial approval for the Pulse is made by the CHS Marketing Manager and Communications Coordinator. Items not deemed appropriate for the Pulse may be covered in CHS social media, campus life communication platforms or the CHS website calendar.

Content Submissions:

Submissions for consideration can be made here.
If you have questions about submitting an item for the Pulse, please reach out to James Macleod in the Office of External Affairs.

Deadline:

All content must be submitted by 4 p.m. Thursday for the following week’s campus email.
