MavWire Guidelines
Mission
MavWire is the official University-wide electronic newsletter for faculty and staff.
MavWire's mission is to keep the University's faculty and staff informed about their campus, to instill a sense of pride in the achievements of the institution, and to be the primary source of official information pertaining to the campus environment at the University.
Frequency and Distribution
MavWire is published by the Department of University Communications and is distributed to current employees via email Monday, Wednesday, and Friday during the fall and spring semesters and every Wednesday during the summer terms, except for holidays.
All employees receive MavWire. Employees may not choose to opt out of this communication.
Policies
A. Submitting Items to MavWire
Submit information to mavwire@uta.edu.
If needed, include hyperlinks to relevant web sites or a flyer or PDF with more information. Include the essential information — who, what, where, when, costs, registration, deadlines, and contact information.
Please also utilize the UTA Events Calendar or submit to The Shorthorn student newspaper or to communication personnel for your school or college for their internal publications.
B. Editing
Any item submitted may be edited for clarity, style, and space consideration.
C. Editorial Considerations
The final decision for any item to be included rests solely with University Communications.
D. MavWire Extra
MavWire Extra will be used only for major breaking news or information that needs to be disseminated to the University community immediately. The vice president for University Communications or designee will make decisions on issuing a MavWire Extra in consultation with the president or provost, as necessary.
