Ohio Wesleyan’s September list of events open to the general public will be shared with news media on Aug. 15. If you have lectures, performances, or other items for September’s public events calendar, please send them to Cole Hatcher as soon as possible.
For future planning, October’s calendar will be sent to media Sept. 15, November’s calendar will be sent Oct. 15, etc. (Sharing information on the 15th of the month preceding the month of the event gives news outlets time to plan for and process the information, should they choose to publish it.) If your area’s event calendar is online already, you don’t need to submit items a second time! (Please feel free to reach out to me if you have questions.)
Here is a sample submission for a lecture:
7:30 p.m. April 13 – Michael W. Flamm, Ph.D., OWU professor of history, presents “Axis Sally: Ohio Wesleyan’s Most Notorious and Least Understood Alum,” in Benes Room B of Hamilton-Williams Campus Center, 40 Rowland Ave., Delaware. During World War II, an American woman broadcast Nazi propaganda to Allied troops, who dubbed her “Axis Sally.” Her real name was Mildred Gillars, and two decades earlier she had attended Ohio Wesleyan. Three decades later, she returned to Delaware to receive her degree. Hear her tragic-but-true story from Flamm, author of “In the Heat of the Summer: The New York Riots of 1964 and the War on Crime.” His presentation represents OWU’s 2017 Joseph and Edith Vogel Lecture sponsored by the Department of History. Admission is free. Learn more at www.owu.edu/history.
High-res photographs of speakers or performers, as well as links to any relevant bio pages or press kits, are helpful, too. (Please know that I realize not every event can be shared in this timeline — so many logistics! — and I’ll continue to work with you handle those as they arise.) Many thanks for your help.
Here’s to a great year!
