Connections Guidelines
Connections is edited and published by the Office of the Vice President
for Student Affairs, and this office determines the suitability of all items
for publications.
The newsletter is published most Wednesday evenings during the academic
year. All undergraduates and students in the Graduate School of Arts and
Sciences receive an e-mail version of Connections.
Only students, faculty and staff may post notices in Connections, and
only University-related notices will be published.
Connections limits postings of events. To publicize your event, please
submit it to the Student Activities Calendar.
Submitting an Announcement to Connections
- The Connections e-mail newsletter includes a headline for each
announcement, and often a subheading, both of which are linked to full
announcements on the weekly Connections Web page.
- Announcements that appear on the Web should be brief, generally less
than 70 words. Submit your announcement in plain text - no italics,
boldface or indentations, using the form below. Submissions of more than
500 characters will not be accepted by this form.
- In the interest of brevity and newsiness, repeat submissions may be
denied.

PLEASE NOTE
Deadline: Items for Connections must be submitted by
noon Monday to be considered for inclusion in the Wednesday release of
Connections on any given week.
- Connections will not include any postings for events
that take place on the Wednesday of publication.
- Please provide a website for readers to find more information. If you do not provide a URL, the contact e-mail will be used instead.
- Submissions to Connections should conform to Associated Press
style. This is particularly important in describing dates. Dates and times
should follow AP style for abbreviations (Jan. Feb. March April May June July
Aug. Sept. Oct. Nov. Dec.). For example: Feb. 7, 7 p.m. or Feb. 7, 7:30 p.m.
- Please do not include days of the week (Monday, Tuesday, etc.)
- The proper
abridged form of the University’s name is U.Va.
