The Office of University Communications and Marketing has developed an online tool to share news of faculty and staff accomplishments. Accessible at http://www.drake.edu/accomplishments, you are able to write a complete story for submission to the newsroom, including the option to upload a relevant photo. The form is designed to act like a minimalistic word processor, capable of adding links, bullet points, and other style choices.

Submission of this form creates a draft story on the back-end of our newsroom. The communications team is notified of the presence of a new story so that we may make any necessary changes to accommodate Drake’s style guide or other minor editorial changes prior to publication. This process is designed to speed the process of sharing good news and to help ensure accuracy of what is published online. Following review, the story will be published to the University’s online newsroom, and you will then have an active link to share via social media, email, and other means.

Articles submitted to this form are reviewed weekly. In cases where a quicker turnaround is required, please reach out directly to Jarad Bernstein, director of communications at jarad.bernstein@drake.edu.
