The 'Events This Week' email is sent weekly to all Ball State Students and is a pilot program sponsored by the Office of Student Life for recognized student organizations to advertise their events.  The emails will be sent every Wednesday afternoon, with the hope of highlighting programs (particularly on the weekend) while at the same time cutting down on the number of mass emails that are sent to students.  Here are the basic parameters:

1. Each message can be no longer than 75 words.  Ideally, you will have a short message with a link to a website with any additional information.  All of the basic information needs to be included, such as purpose of event, location, date, time, contact person, etc.
2. This should not be used to announce regular meetings.  A special recruitment meeting or program may be appropriate, but these should really be events where you would like to see a larger attendance.
3. Events will not be promoted more than twice. 
4. Groups can only do one announcement per week.  If there are a series of events (such as a week of events part of an awareness month), the details of the specific events should be linked to a website with additional information.   
5. Events/programs will be listed by the specific program in date order (i.e. Thursday, Friday, Saturday, etc.).  Any events without a specific date will follow in a ‘general’ section.  We will accept submissions from Thursday morning at 8:00 am through Tuesday afternoon at 5:00 pm for the message that week.  To avoid having to manage too many messages and to maximize the intention of the e-mail for students, we ask that you do not submit any programs more than 3 weeks before they will occur.
