MarCom FAQs

Thank you for letting us know! While our team typically needs at least two weeks of advanced notice for scheduling event coverage, here’s what we can offer on short notice: We may be able to help promote your event through digital signage or social media stories. After the event, feel free to send us a brief recap and one strong group photo: we’re happy to consider it for a post-event highlight on our website or social channels.

We love highlighting the amazing events across campus! Standalone emails are typically reserved for ticketed events. Otherwise, we’re happy to include your event in the Campus Announcements, which is sent to all students and employees.

If you have news you’d like to share with the Iona community, start by completing this form to help us get the word out. Campus Announcements are sent out every Tuesday. Submissions received on Tuesday may go out the following week.

We evaluate media potential and can pitch your story to local or national outlets. Please reach out to us with a brief overview of key facts.

Notify the MarCom office right away. We’ll guide you on the next steps, evaluate the opportunity, and can help prepare talking points if needed.

Yes. MarCom offers media training to faculty and staff who may be interviewed by the press. Training includes guidance on messaging, interview techniques, and best practices for on-camera or phone interviews. If you're interested, reach out to us and we can schedule a one-on-one session or request support ahead of a media opportunity.

We do our best to accommodate all website requests. However, this does not guarantee all requests become web pages. A few questions to consider are:

• How does this content serve recruiting prospective students?
• How does this content serve retaining current students?
• If not the above, what audience am I trying to reach?

Yes! Just visit www.iona.edu/employees for resources, announcements and more.

Please use the news form on this page. From there, we can determine how to best use it.

Whenever possible, we convert documents into web content. In cases where it is absolutely necessary to post a PDF to the site, please work with Jason Kattenhorn to ensure it meets web accessibility requirements before sending it for posting.

25Live has built-in features that enable events to be posted to the website. Please sign up for 25Live training to learn how. We generally do not add one-off events to pages unless they key to driving student recruitment.

We do work with admissions to post events for prospective students to the website. However, events for current students and employees should be posted through 25Live and further shared through campus announcements, digital screens, etc.

No. Program pages are designed for prospective students, so we will not post events or information that excludes them. However, we can work with you to identify pages current students may be visiting, as well as explore other ways to reach that audience. The website functions mainly as a marketing tool for prospective students.
