Steps to share your news or request CVAD Marketing services

We prioritize current or upcoming news stories occurring in the Art Building. Please provide at least seven to 10 business days before your anticipated publication date. 

Step 1

Email Monica.Scott@unt.edu with "REQUEST" as the first word of your subject line, followed by the topic. Ensure your images follow the technical requirements on the Image Specifications web page. Attach your images, Word documents, .indd or .ai files, etc., and include complete information about your news, event or other request, including the date, time, place, etc. 

  • State what you are requesting.
  • Include the date you want your request fulfilled, such as "Date for publication: [insert a date]." 
  • For updates to web pages, include the URL of the page(s) to be edited. Then, copy the page content to a Word document and track changes to indicate what needs to be edited.
  • Changes to academic content on CVAD.unt.edu: Please route your proposed changes to Dr. Heidi Strobel, Heidi.Strobel@unt.edu. Once she approves them, she will send the approved information to Marketing.
  • Dr. Strobel must approve all videos before they can be uploaded to the CVAD.unt.edu website.
