About Us - Montclair State University

The Webmaster welcomes suggested submissions to the MSU Web site "News" sections. "News" appears on the main MSU page (www.montclair.edu).

Webmaster discretion

It is the purpose of the News section of the MSU Web site to promote a timely communications tool for the MSU community at large, and to highlight the unique qualities of MSU to our Web clients. Some examples of the types of information for Headlines:
  • New academic or administrative programs;
  • Special events or activities;
  • Awards or recognition of MSU programs or community members;
  • Timely information: weather closing; deadline dates.
Final editorial discretion is the responsibility of the Webmaster.

To submit a suggested News item you must:

  • be a member of the MSU community (faculty/staff/student);
  • provide your email address or phone number for submission confirmation;
  • submit your suggested News item via email to the MSU Webmaster, Cindy Meneghin, at meneghinc@mail.montclair.edu. Please note in your Email Subject: "MSU News Item."

Guidelines for "News" Submissions

  • Provide a 'headline' (which will appear as a link to the headline's text) that is no more than 40 characters long. Example: "MSU debuts its new main Web site."
  • Provide text for the News items that is concise and clear. Whenever possible, "News" text should be no longer than 200 words.
  • Whenever possible include email and URL links to further information and contact points in your text. Example: "email us at xxxx@montclair.edu" or "see our Web site at www.montclair.edu/xxxx.html."

"News" Placement

Include in your Headline submission:
  • When you suggest the News item should appear and disappear. (The "News" program automatically archives the Headline on a specified date to avoid old news lingering.)

Note: The Webmaster reserves the right to edit or remove copy from any submitted News items.
