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. 1.
For the August digest, please consider submitting information that will maximize a successful transition to OWU. Consider submitting business items, belonging opportunities – any information that will help parents & families partner with us for their student’s success.
The open rate for the most recent (June) News for OWU Families was 70.7 %! 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 from your area would be helpful to parents and families.
The deadline and issue dates for the upcoming academic year are on the News submission form. We encourage you to make monthly calendar reminders to create submissions and spread the word about this communication tool to engage our OWU families.
