Newsletter and Calendar Submissions

Announcements are delivered to the Lowell House community in two different formats, with two different submission forms. Please read the information below carefully!

Calendar Announcements

Calendar announcements are the brief listings which appear on the Lowell House homepage, and at the top of the weekly newsletter. They may or may not be connected to a longer description or announcement in the newsletter (see below).

Registered users may submit announcements directly to the calendar, where they will show up immediately, by logging in. They can also review or delete their existing calendar items. Currently only Resident Tutors and House Staff members may be registered.

Log in to post announcements immediately

Non-registered users may submit a calendar item using this form. The item will appear after it has been approved; the review and approval process is conducted weekly, before the publication of that week's newsletter. You will need to submit your announcement of an event during the week prior to the event's occurrence in order to insure that it will be posted to the online calendar over the weekend.

Newsletter

The newsletter is the quickest and most efficient way to get an event publicized. The deadline for submissions is Saturday at noon, for inclusion in Monday's newsletter. Please email submissions to the newsletter editor, Laura Dawes, at lohonews@fas.harvard.edu

You may want to email two versions of your announcement - a short version for the hardcopy newsletter (shown in the dining hall) and a longer version for the online and electronic editions.

The editor will make every effort to include your submission, but owing to space and content considerations not all submissions may be included in the hardcopy edition of the newsletter. Full event outlines can still be found in the online and electronic editions.

If you wish, you may view the current and past newsletters before submitting your announcement.
