How do I contribute to eCALS?

If you have news you’d like to share, you can send us your posts by:

All submissions will be reviewed prior to publication, and will be posted as soon as possible after they are received.
____________

How will others find my announcement?

Links to all announcements posted at the eCALS website are emailed to faculty, staff and friends of the college the Monday following the week they were posted. If you want your announcement to be sent out on Monday, make sure it’s posted by midnight Sunday.
____________

How do I add an event to the CALS calendar?

Post it on the UW events calendar and tag it as CALS. We also suggest that when you do use the calendar, you create an account for your department. Instructions are available on the calendar website. When we generate the calendar, we’ll include events tagged as “CALS” and those associated with CALS departments and units. We also review the UW calendar regularly ourselves, and if we see things that belong on the CALS calendar, we mark them for the CALS calendar.

What’s appropriate? Events of interest and relevance to college-wide audiences, such as:

  • Opportunities for student interviews with company recruiters
  • Career Fair and Majors Fairs
  • Special guests and lecture

___________

Why am I receiving eCALS emails?

eCALS is sent automatically to all CALS faculty (current & retired/emeritus), academic & classified staff (permanent & project staff only) who have a CALS appointment and have published their email address in the campus directory. It also goes to CALS graduate students and our CALS Board of Visitors. If your email address does not appear in the directory and you are a current staff member, please obtain & complete Part 1 (Campus/Work Address) of the Employee Information Form and return it to CALS Payroll office. This form can be downloaded here. Contact your department administrator if you have questions regarding this form.
____________

____________

What makes for a good announcement?

  • Put the good stuff up front. Put your key message in the first two or three sentences.
  • Let readers know how they can get more information. You know — web links and contact info for people who know the details.
  • If it’s an event, add it to the UW-Madison events calendar and tag it as “CALS.”

____________

Do announcements get edited?

As little as possible. We’re not looking for extra work. But if we see a simple way to make it clearer, or see typos, or a need for more information, we try to fix it or ask you to do so.
