Submission Guidelines -

General Submission Guidelines

The CENG Connection blog includes official announcements, news, faculty and staff achievements, student highlights and other information of importance to the CENG community. Blog content is distributed via the college listserv weekly, excluding holidays and breaks. Items must be submitted by 3:00 p.m. on the Friday before the week the announcement will run. Email submissions to CENGNews@calpoly.edu or submit through the contributor form on this page.

Text Format Guidelines

Items should be 150 words or less. A pyramid format is followed, with the most important information first: the name of the event or guest; the time, day, date and location of the event; followed by a brief summary; and contact details, and/or a link for more information. CENG reserves the right to edit items for length, style, clarity and consistency.

Photography and Graphics Guidelines

Images should have visuals that are easily visible when sized down for the online newsletter. High-resolution photos are preferred. Low-resolution photos may be too grainy to be used.

The following items are not appropriate for inclusion in the newsletter:

Commercial announcements
Personal news, such as birth or marriage announcements
News or events about community events, organizations, or agencies that do not pertain directly to Cal Poly or CENG
Messages or material that is of questionable taste or has the potential to be divisive

For more information or questions, please send an email to CENGNews@calpoly.edu or contact Charlotte Tallman, Director of Marketing and Communications at 805-756-6402 or by email at ctallman@calpoly.edu.
