Let us know what's happening around campus!

Dear Readers,

One of the most common questions we get is “How can I get The Review to write about my event/program/group/accomplishment?”

Our answer is simple: Tell us about it.

Each week, our editors try as hard as possible to pitch a wide variety of stories they think will interest you. They look at bulletin boards, ask around and work their sources, but, of course, it’s inevitable that they will miss something.

That’s where we rely on you. If your group is sponsoring an event, if your department is bringing a fascinating speaker to campus, or if your roommate just accomplished something really cool, let us know.

Send us a press release to editor@udreview.com or contact an individual editor (contact info is listed on udreview.com). Tell us what’s happening, who to contact and, most importantly, why you think other readers would be interested. For events, the best time to contact us is about a week and a half in advance.

We obviously can’t cover all of the hundreds of events that occur on campus each week, but we try to pick out the ones we think will interest the general student body. Our mission is, first and foremost, to serve university students, so we try to cover a wide array of topics that represent the diversity of interests represented here at the university. But, we can’t cover what we don’t know about.

We look forward to hearing from you soon.

Faithfully yours,
Josh Shannon, Editor in Chief
Maddie Thomas, Executive Editor
