Steps to share your news or request CVAD Marketing services

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

Step 1

Email cvad.Information@unt.edu with "REQUEST" as the first word of your subject line, followed by the topic.

Example: REQUEST: Studio Art news story, digital signs and social media posts

Attach your images, Word documents, etc., and include complete information about your news, event or other request, including the suggested headline, event information, such as date, time, place, and names of the participants.

Important: Please extract pertinent information from any links you may have; do not send links for Marketing to research and curate the news.

  • Include the date you want your request fulfilled, such as "Deadline: [insert a date]."
  • For updates to web pages, please 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.
  • For updates to academic content on the CVAD.unt.edu website: first, route your proposed changes to Dr. Heidi Strobel, Heidi.Strobel@unt.edu; once she approves them, she will send them to Marketing. Note: All videos must be approved by Dr. Strobel before they can be uploaded.

Images & Video Requirements

If you have images or video, follow the image and video requirements on the CVAD Image Specifications page. Attach your images (.jpg, .png, or .tiff) or a text document (.docx or .rtf) to the email. All videos for the CVAD.unt.edu website must be approved by Dr. Strobel before they will be uploaded.
