Instructions for submitting your email event announcement to be forwarded to HI center listservs:

Events that are hosted by center affiliates or co-sponsored with a financial contribution can be forwarded to HI center listservs. To ensure your event announcement is accessible, please follow these guidelines. Note that inaccessible emails cannot be forwarded.

Email content

The announcement email should contain the following:

• When: provide the day, date and time 
• Where: where is the event? Provide at least a room number and building
• Who: who is hosting
• What: What is happening? Who is speaking?

RSVP and Other Links

If your event has an RSVP collector or a link to more information, be sure to embed the link in the sentence, not just cut and paste the link. Examples. 

• RSVPs are requested. Follow this link for more information
• Go to our website for more information
• Find parking information on the venue's website. 

Attachments

We cannot attach pdfs or images, as these are not accessible. All of the information on a flyer should be listed in the email message. According to OSU accessibility policy, flyers are for analog printing purposes only, to be used as mini billboards.

Images

If you want to have an image in your email, provide alt/text at the bottom of the message describing the image. Use the following format:

• For a person: Alt text: Nancy Rose (just give the name of the person)
• For a photograph: Alt text: there is a photo showing a woman wearing virtual reality goggles standing at a kitchen counter. 

Forward your completed email event announcement to Megan Moriarty, Marketing and Communications Specialist for the Humanities Institute.
