We are accepting submissions for the August edition of News for OWU Families. Please submit news for parents and families using this News for OWU Families form by the deadline, noon Friday, Aug. 2. Please recall that the digest is on hiatus for July.
For the August digest, please consider submitting information that will maximize a successful transition to OWU: Business items, belonging opportunities – any information that will help parents & families partner with us for their student’s success. The average open rate of News for OWU Families for the spring semester was a whopping 63%! Families are reading it!
Tips: 1) eliminate OWU jargon, abbreviations, or acronyms from your emails; 2) use ‘family’ or ‘parents and families’; 3) consider your voice and tone – direct your message to families (not students). Emails will typically be sent on the first Wednesday of every month. Submissions will be due the Friday before each email release.
The goal of this digest is to keep parents and families informed, engaged, and regularly supplied with resources. Please plan to review with your team every month what information is of value to parents and families from your area. We encourage you to make monthly calendar reminders to create submissions and spread the word about this new communication tool to engage our OWU families.
