Student Communication Plan

Posting Flyers/ Other Publications:  If you would like to post a flyer publicizing your college organization/class event, please click here for a complete list of campus bulletin boards, or stop by the Office of Student Programs, HSC SW213.

Student Lifelines:  If you would like to include a university-wide event or other information pertaining to all MUSC students in the online newsletter, Student Lifelines, please email  lockarda@musc.edu. 

Semester Highlights:  Semester Highlights is comprehensive online calendar of university and community dates and deadlines.  Please visit www.musc.edu/semesterhighlights to calendar your event!

Student Broadcast Email:  Students and employees have different broadcast email systems.  See Employee Broadcast Email for directions on reaching this audience. For students, send a message and subject line just as you would like all students to receive it to stuinfo@musc.edu. Student Programs will review the message and send it out to the student body.  If it is information pertaining to your university-wide event or other info, it will be sent through stulife@musc.edu.  All administrative and academic, "need to know", information will be sent through stuinfo@musc.edu.  Please be sure to include all pertinent details and contact info!   Attachments and graphics cannot be sent out via student broadcast.

Student Broadcast Email messages are sent out individually, but all at one time each day, approximately by 11am.  If too many messages have been submitted, emails will then be sent out on a first come, first serve basis and there may be a possibility that a message will be held until the next day.  A maximum of (2) messages per event/program can be sent.

MUSC SGA TV:  This is (1) of (4) TV’s in the lobby of the ECL.  It is used to promote the events of student organizations.  Please visit “MUSC SGA Bulletin Request” for policies and process.

Employee Broadcast Email:  Go to “News & Events” on MUSC’s home page and select “Broadcast Email” and then “Add A Message”.  There is an online form to be completed.  Employee Broadcast email messages are all sent out together under the header of “Broadcast Messages” and employees have to open that message to view the individual subject lines.  Messages received by noon are sent out that day – if they are received even (1) minute after noon, they will be sent out after noon the next day.

The Catalyst:  MUSC’s weekly newspaper is primarily read by employees but is also picked up by interested students from the stands.  To get a message primarily to employees, send information on your event/program to  catalyst@musc.edu.  Information needs to be sent by 5pm Mondays for the issue that will be in the stands the Thursday of that week.

Plastic Stands/Table Tents:  There are (15) 4x6” plastic stands available in the Office of Student Programs for the purpose of displaying information on the tables in the lobby of the ECL.  These are especially useful during cultural celebrations for promoting schedules of events or information on important/related topics or people.  Inserts need to be printed and cut down to the 4x6” size.  Please call the Office of Student Programs, 792-2693, for scheduling and obtaining these stands.
