Submit news and ideas to Lafayette Today

We’re glad to receive information relating to announcements, events, milestones, accomplishments (e.g. award, certification, published article, conference presentation), news tips, and suggestions for staff, faculty, and student profiles.

Items should be submitted by noon the business day before you’d like them to be included in Lafayette Today. We will do our best to include your item on your requested date, however, we may need to shift your announcement a day or two, depending on the length and messaging already in the issue.

Please provide us with as much detail as possible, including a visual. We do not recommend submitting a poster as your visual, as they appear small in Lafayette Today and likely cannot/will not be used; stick to visuals with minimal text.

Please note that submissions will be edited for grammar, clarity, length, and tone as needed.

If you do not receive a confirmation email, your entry was not received. Please try again or contact us at today@lafayette.edu.

NOTE ON VISUALS: • Posters/Graphics: We do not accept user-submitted posters or graphics as announcement submissions, as they are not always aligned with accessibility standards and/or properly sized for email distribution. • Photos: For Lafayette Today, we do our best to include the many events and announcements from departments across campus. In order to keep the emails at a reasonable length, we are not always able to include photos. We will include photos taken by our staff photographers on Today.lafayette.edu. A signed publication/print release, or written permission from the source/photographer is required for all contributed photos submitted for use in Lafayette Today or Today.lafayette.edu. Please email photos and details to today@lafayette.edu.
