Content Guidelines
The content of the newsletter is narrowly focused on news about faculty and staff at Holy Family University. As such, not all material is appropriate for this newsletter.

> The newsletter will feature news about employees who, for example, have earned a distinction, published original material, completed an advanced degree, featured on a broadcast, or experienced a significant life milestone, such as an engagement, marriage, and birth or adoption of a child. Deaths among employees also will be published.

> All news items must be about a faculty or staff member. News items about an individual who is merely related to an employee will not be published. For example, if a University employee becomes engaged to be married, the news will be published. If the daughter or son of a University employee becomes engaged, the news will not be published.

> Recent events covered in the newsletter must be those that further the University's mission. Upcoming events covered in the newsletter must be sponsored by the University or a group or individual affiliated with the University and should have broad interest to the campus community.

> Announcements about new policies, procedures, or programs will not be published.

> General news about athletics will not be published, but news about teams and individual players who achieve a milestone or accomplishment will be published. For example, a team that wins a conference championship or is nationally ranked will be covered. Likewise, a player who breaks a record or earns all-conference honors will be covered.
