Submit an Email Announcement

How to submit an announcement or event for weekly SoP Email Announcements
The Email Announcement Submission page is located at https://apps.pharmacy.wisc.edu/apps/announcements/

  1. First determine whether you are submitting an Announcement or an Event.
    (Not sure?  Events need location, date, start and end time. A calendar invite will be created for download.)
    The basic directions will be the same for Announcements and Events.  Event specific directions will be down below the consistent steps.

  2. Select the appropriate audience.

  3. Type in the subject of your Announcement/Event.  DO NOT paste this in from Word - (text from Word has weird formatting code that usually creates problems).

  4. Enter the text for the content of your announcement. 

    1. Attachments are not possible.  If you have a document you would like to share you will need to load it into Box and share that link.
