Students Today

EKU Students Today is a web-based email newsletter that provides EKU students with news and announcements at the beginning of each University work day. EKU Students Today reduces the number of daily internal mass emails and increases the likelihood that announcements will be read.

EKU Students Today is a response to student requests to reduce the number of student mass emails to just one per day. This web-based email newsletter provides a means for registered student organizations and the University to inform EKU students of upcoming events of general interest and will include official notices of importance to all students.

At their discretion, the Offices of the President, Provost, Student Affairs, or Public Relations & Marketing may email more urgent announcements separately. Some EKU Students Today items may be linked to more detailed information through a separate webpage provided by the person submitting the announcement.

While anyone with a web browser can view and search through current and previous announcements, only students with active EKU email accounts who are representing registered student organizations, and faculty and staff with active EKU email accounts, can submit announcements. Announcements must be submitted no later than 2 p.m. the day before they are to be published in EKU Students Today. If changes or corrections are needed after an announcement has been submitted, the person submitting the announcement must contact the Office of Student Life at 622-3855 to request corrections or changes before the announcement is published the following day in EKU Students Today.

Please note the following guidelines for posting announcements to EKU Students Today:

1. Announcements must be submitted on behalf of a registered student organization or an academic or administrative department of EKU.
2. Announcements must be of interest to the general student population, not individual groups.
3. Announcements for the same event will not be published more than two times.
4. Announcements must be submitted at least 24 hours prior to requested publication date.
5. Announcements may not include graphics, but a link to a webpage that further describes the event may be included.
6. Announcements submitted for publication in EKU Students Today must adhere to the EKU Code of Ethics for Computing & Communications.
