News for OWU Families is accepting posts for the December edition. Please submit news for parents and families using this News for OWU Families form by noon Friday, Dec. 1. This monthly email communication is sent to all parents and families of current students and mimics the style and process of the OWU Daily. The open rate average is over 60%! Families are reading it!
For December, consider end-of-semester tasks, need-to-know, and good-to-know information. Also consider events, opportunities, and deadlines in December as well as early information and activities early spring semester.
We are also accepting posts now for the January edition. The deadline for submission is noon Friday, Jan. 5. Consider submitting information that will help families have a smooth start to the semester!
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 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 supplied regularly with resources. Please plan to review with your team on a monthly basis 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.
