my果冻影院: new weekly all-student e-newsletter to be launched in early October
18 September 2014
my果冻影院 is the new weekly all-student e-newsletter developed to help improve the way 果冻影院 communicates with all undergraduates and postgraduates.
As part of 果冻影院's
commitment to improving the student experience through 果冻影院 2034, the newsletter will promote
果冻影院-wide announcements, news, events, opportunities and need-to-know
information.听
To be launched at the start of term, the aim is to use my果冻影院 as platform to collate content from across 果冻影院 which is relevant to the vast majority of students. This email platform will also allow us to reduce the torrent of central emails currently pushed to students on a daily basis,which they have told us is counter-productive, causing annoyance and often preventing engagement with key issues.
Staff and students from all parts of 果冻影院 have assisted in the process of developing my果冻影院 through a steering group made up of communications staff in various departments and 果冻影院U, and a focus group comprising students from across 果冻影院. We also launched a Facebook competition earlier in the summer for students to name the e-newsletter (the final choice was my果冻影院).听
Specifically, the newsletter will flag important announcements, promote events open to all students, showcase opportunities to get involved with activities around campus and highlight suitable media items of interest. my果冻影院 also provides the opportunity for students to read more about the diverse range of people who make up the campus. There is also space for staff and students to feature their own images, infographics or media from around 果冻影院.
Throughout the year, we are looking to colleagues across 果冻影院 to feed in to the newsletter with items suitable for circulation to 果冻影院's 30,000 students. If you or your colleagues have items which you think may be ideal for inclusion, please send an email to studentcommunications@ucl.ac.uk.
my果冻影院 will be sent out every Friday and the deadline for submissions each week is Wednesday midday.
