ENews submission guidelines
- For an item to be considered for ENews, it must involve an official WVU unit, or have some other direct connection to the University and its related organizations or initiatives. While in some instances, ENews will include an event that is hosted at a WVU facility, just being held at WVU is not sufficient reason to be included. The final decision to include or not include an announcement in ENews is at the discretion of the editors.
- Send items directly to enews@mail.wvu.edu. ENews is managed by a team, so contacting enews@mail.wvu.edu will ensure submissions and messages are viewed and addressed in a timely fashion.

Please include a descriptive headline; date, time and place; brief description of event, award, etc.; contact; RSVP date, if applicable; and the specific date when the ENews notice should run. The ENews editorial team will determine which ENews posts are included in the ENews emails. While there are exceptions, posts typically won’t run more than once a week and not more than twice total.
