Do you have news or events to share on campus? Tell it to The Fountain (campus newsletter)
The Fountain is a weekly campus e-newsletter about the activities and achievements of Whitman’s faculty and staff. Distributed via e-mail on Mondays, it provides calendar information for the week, highlights campus events and supplies a wide range of news, from grant awards and major gifts to office moves and faculty and staff accomplishments of all kinds. The purpose of the newsletter is to strike up a conversation, share information about faculty and staff, and enhance networking and the spirit of community on campus. An archive provides access to past issues.
Deadline for news for each Monday publication is 5 p.m. on the preceding Wednesday. The sooner information is submitted, the better chance we’ll be able to find a place for it in the newsletter. All submissions are subject to editing.
Some event information submitted to the Communications Office for the Web site and other uses may automatically appear in the newsletter. However, to be certain the newsletter staff is aware of your event, please provide information at least two weeks in advance of the event.
Photos of appropriate quality may be included with a story. Send photos by e-mail at 300 dpi minimum. Hard copies of photos may also be submitted. Be sure to include information on how you want them returned.
Space — four pages when the college is in session and two pages when it is not — may limit the stories and photos we’re able to publish. If the item has no time element, it may appear in a future issue. Not all submissions will be used. All submissions are subject to editing and all content is at the discretion of the director of communications and the newsletter editorial staff.
