Faculty and staff members who would like to share their work or request assistance with media‑related opportunities should submit a request using the form below. After your request is received, our team will review it and follow up within 1–2 business days.
Providing detailed information helps us better understand your goals and determine the most effective way to elevate your story. Please note that submitting a request does not guarantee media coverage.
If your request is time‑sensitive, please indicate the specific deadline or release date in the form. Time‑sensitive requests tied to developing news, current events, or major announcements with a clear and urgent timeline will be prioritized.
Before submitting a request, we encourage you to review the FAQs to learn how requests are evaluated and how our team can best assist you.
FAQs
How will you share my story?
While we greatly value the work and accomplishments of all members of the COE community, please note that not every submission will be promoted through an external media release. In evaluating whether to pitch a story to local, state or national media, the Media Relations team must consider
- The timeliness and relevance of the story.
- The scope and significance of its impact.
- The timeframe and location of that impact.
- The story’s connection to current events at the local, state or national level.
After reviewing your submission in light of these considerations, we will determine whether internal storytelling or an external media release is the most appropriate approach.
If your submission is selected for external promotion, a member of our team will follow up with next steps and a proposed timeline, based on the information provided in your intake form.
I have an op-ed I’d like to share. What’s the process?
Please note that our Marketing and Communications team does not pitch op-eds on behalf of faculty and staff. However, we are happy to offer resources, guidance and support to help you prepare your op-ed and navigate the pitching process, both before and after submission.
What do I do if a media outlet contacts me directly?
