We are accepting submissions for the September 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. 30.
For the September digest, please consider submitting information to help students and families get off to a great start – reminders about annual business items, academic notes, engagement opportunities, etc.
The average open rate of News for OWU Families for 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 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 communication tool to engage our OWU families.
