News for OWU Families is accepting posts for the April edition. Please submit news for parents and families using this News for OWU Families form by noon Friday, March 31. This monthly email communication, launched earlier this semester, is sent to all parents and families of current students and mimics the style and process of the OWU Daily and New@OWU emails. The open rate last month was 63%! Families are reading it! 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.
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).
