General Information:
- Please provide a minimum of 4 articles for the newsletter (more than that is super welcome!)
- All submissions are due 2 business days prior to the newsletter release date
- The department Director should write the newsletter intro (or at least be the one who signs it off)
- Please ensure at least one article gives an overview of your team and the work you do (including names of team members)
- Other article ideas: interesting facts about your team or your work, recommendations for books and hobbies, reviews of local amenities, contests or games, quizzes, etc.
- Ashley and/or Coby will upload all the articles to the ES Connected wordpress site and produce the newsletter
- If you have specific article summaries/links in the newsletter you’d prefer then please note that in the article otherwise Ashley and/or Coby will draft that part
Article criteria:
- There is no minimum or maximum word count – short articles are totally fine (and even often preferred)
- Articles can be drafted in Word. If you want to include photos in your article and have a specific place you’d like the photo to show up in the article, please put in a placeholder referencing the name of the photo so that Ashley and/or Coby know where to put it when it’s uploaded to WordPress, but send photos as separate files please
- Please ensure the articles are all properly formatted with titles, and bullets, numbered lists and/or photo captions if necessary
- The more pictures the better!
Photo criteria:
- If you would like to use photos that you or a team member took, please ensure that you have optimized the image prior to uploading it to Workspace (https://files.workspace.ubc.ca/)
- For info on using workspace you can check here: https://it.ubc.ca/services/web-servers-storage/workspace-20 )
- Use a photo editing tool like Snagit (free for UBC staff and students), to reduce the file size by changing the resolution to 72 dpi (or ppi) and ensuring the largest side of the photo is 600 px (pixels).
Using photos from the internet
- If you are sourcing photos, please use the links below to find something suitable. You can also search the web for photos that have creative commons licensing for reuse. Please review UBC’s Copyright information for using images on websites.
