Daily Digest or Calendar questions, please contact us at daily.digest@gallaudet.edu.

Helpful tips:

Event or Announcement? You have to option to submit your item as an announcement or an event or both. What's the difference? An event submission puts your event on the campus calendar, it may show up on the Gallaudet homepage, and it appears in the Daily Digest on the date of the event. An announcement is any general item of information which could include an advertisement about an event ahead of time.

How many times can I run my announcement? You can only run your announcement up to five times. You may choose which five days you want it to appear. On the first day it runs it will be in the top section labeled Today's Announcements. On subsequent dates it will run in the Previous Postings section. Due to a minor glitch, if you choose to run your announcement for the first time for a future date, the announcement will run one day earlier in the Today's Announcement section (example: announcement set to run for the first time on Friday, it will run on Thursday and Friday in the top section, other dates after that will be in Previous Postings).

Important note on announcement submissions: Please include the date, time, location, and any other essential information related to the event, and list a contact person in case additional details or clarifications may be required.

Submitting an image or photo? Images should be in a JPG format. Pictures and images should be no larger than 500 pixels wide. Images that are too large or not in the correct format will not be attached.

Submitting a document? We rcommend converting your document into a PDF file (most programs have that option, you generally won't need special software). PDF documents are the most universally accessible for all types of computer operating systems. The ability to convert documents to PDF is standard on Gallaudet owned computers, contact Gallaudet Technology Services for assistance.

Daily Digest Submissions Page

Submissions due before 2 p.m., two business days before run date

Only Gallaudet employees or students (with a Gallaudet username and password) can submit announcements or events. Those who are NOT Gallaudet employees or students should work with an on-campus department to assist in posting a submission. You must be logged into your Gallaudet email to submit.

Submissions for announcements and events MUST be completed and submitted by 3 p.m. at least one business day before you want it to run in Daily Digest. Submissions after 3 p.m. will be reviewed the following day, set your announcement run dates accordingly.

Need to update your submission? If you have already submitted an announcement or an event and you need to make a change or cancelation, DO NOT submit a new item. Send an email to daily.digest@gallaudet.edu.

**Due to increased reports of problems using the regular submission forms, we will be using this form until the system can be upgraded.**

Submissions due before 2 p.m., two business days before run date

As of January 24, 2013

The deadline to submit announcements or events for the Daily Digest and Calendar has changed. You must submit your item by 2 p.m. two business days before you want your announcement to appear. For example, an announcement that should run on Wednesday, must be submitted by 2 p.m. on Monday. Something that should run over the weekend or on Monday, must be submitted by Thursday at 2 p.m.

This is being done in part because of the increasing number of submissions being received, particularly at the beginning of the semester. There have also been problems with announcements not publishing correctly in time for the automated Daily Digest email when it goes out in the morning. This problem causes items not to appear as expected or to appear in the list but with broken links to the full announcement. Gallaudet Technology Services is working on resolving the publishing problem in the content management system.

Submitting announcements and events more than a day before it needs to appear will reduce the chance of there being a problem with your specific item.

We are sorry for the inconvenience this may cause. We will attempt to approve and post items that are submitted after the deadline, as time permits, but there is no guarantee that they will be approved, or that if approved, they will publish in time for the morning email.

Here are some other tips for submitting your announcements and events:

Keep your announcement short and sweet and only include the most important information (if you must include a lot of information, then be sure to have the most important information at the top)
Don't forget to include the most important information! If it is an event submission for the calendar or an announcement about an event, include the date, time, and location
Whenever possible, include contact information for people to get more information or a link to a website.
If you have a flyer, make it a PDF file, if you have a picture, make it a JPG.
Events that are posted on the Calendar are automatically included in the Daily Digest on the day of the event. For maximum exposure in the Digest, if you are submitting an announcement about an event that is on the Calendar, don't run your announcement on the day of the event itself.
All submissions are subject to approval and editing by the Office of Communications and Public Relations. If information is missing or unclear, we will attempt to inform you and get clarification but, because of the volume and timeliness of requests, we can't guarantee your announcement can be updated and posted on the dates originally selected.

If you have questions about the Daily Digest or have updates and corrections to items already submitted, send an email to daily.digest@gallaudet.edu.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation!
