ɫӰ Now is the main news page for the ɫӰ website and features news from throughout the university, compiled from the news feeds of the 170 departments, offices, and other units that have websites hosted at www.iup.edu. Also featured are upcoming events from ɫӰ’s Central Calendar.
ɫӰ Now is also the name of the weekly newsletter mailed to all employees and students. See the ɫӰ Now newsletter publication schedule to ensure you meet the submission deadlines for your news category.
Placing News
All items in ɫӰ Now come from the ɫӰ website. Items in the Achievements and Campus Bulletins categories come from department and office news posts on their individual websites. To have an item included, you have two options:
-
If you are a site maintainer, you can submit the news item yourself from within the CMS.
-
If you are not a site maintainer, ask one of your unit’s web maintainers to post it. Your office secretary or administrative assistant may be able to tell you who they are.
Remember that one of the approvers for your department or office website will need to approve your submission before it is published to the website.
