1) The full text of the proposed item and (if possible) a photo that illustrates what the item is about can be emailed to enews@pacific.edu.
2) Those with access to the CMS can also create their own E-news directly by logging in to the CMS, creating a "News Detail" page and categorizing it as "Campus Announcements." Once the author has completed the approval workflow and the page is published, the story automatically appears on the Campus Announcements page. This is the page Communications uses to compile E-news.
