Calling all student organization leaders! We want to hear from you. Whether your group has an event coming up or recently held an exciting activity, we encourage you to submit a tidbit of information and a photo to The Pulse.
We welcome submissions from the many voices that make up NEOMED. Here’s everything you need to get started!
What is The Pulse?
The Pulse is considered the official internal communications channel for the NEOMED community. It’s your go-to place for what’s happening on campus and to stay up-to-date with campus news and information. You can sign up to have The Pulse delivered straight to your email inbox either daily or weekly. If you choose to opt out, you can always visit NEOMED.edu to view the latest information. The campus news is updated every day.
Who is the audience?
The Pulse email is primarily distributed to NEOMED faculty, staff and students. On Mondays, we also send it to our many (about 2,300) clinical faculty members. The Pulse is available to anyone interested in what is happening at NEOMED —alumni, donors, parents or community members.
Have something to share on The Pulse website?
Great! Based upon the type of content, it will fall under one of four categories:
Article
Ideas for a story that Marketing and Communications can write, or an article of 150-250 words that you have written, featuring students, faculty or staff; University programs or initiatives; or relevant events in the community. If possible, include a horizontal photo to accompany your story. Submit an article.
Discussions
A topic that you’d like the campus community to discuss. Submit a discussion.
Events
A listing of events relevant to members of the NEOMED community. Be sure to include the specific place (such as NEW 2016 or Meshel Hall), day and date, and time. Note: Events are listed in order of posting date, not in order of occurrence. Submit an event.
News Briefs
Fewer than 150 words of content, ideas or information for a story that Marketing and Communications may write or one that you have written featuring students, faculty or staff; University programs or initiatives; or relevant events in the community. Submit a news brief.
The categories can then be broken down into subject matter based on the discretion of the Office of Marketing and Communications. The topics includes accolades; announcements; appointments; awards and grant funding; diversity and inclusion; health and wellness; news; newsletters on campus; professional development; publications and presentation; research and innovation; and This Is NEOMED.
