PUBLICIZING
INFORMATION ON CAMPUS
UCI uses
a mix of vehicles to communicate
university-related information to faculty and staff. Each vehicle has a specific purpose, content
focus and frequency. To effectively share information
with faculty and staff, it is important to consider the audience and select
the vehicle that is most appropriate for the content and timing of the
message.
University Communications has the skills and vehicles to get the word out, and is
available to advise on the development of messages and in selecting the best way(s) to deliver content. For information about communicating with UCI
faculty and staff, contact John Mouledoux, 949-824-6490 or jmouledo@uci.edu.
Below are content and submission guidelines for campus communications vehicles targeted
to faculty and staff.
