New ways to submit to Cornerstone

There's a new way to share university news. If you are in a unit with a public information officer, you’ll work with that PIO to submit your announcement. If your unit does not have a PIO, you’ll submit your news via a new form on the UAF news site.

If you’re in one of the following units, please contact your communication lead at least one week in advance of publicizing your news.

• Alaska Center for Energy and Power: Amanda Byrd, agbyrd@alaska.edu
• Alaska Center for Innovation, Commercialization and Enterprise: Amanda Byrd, agbyrd@alaska.edu
• Alaska Sea Grant: Anne Gore, anne.gore@alaska.edu 
• College of Fisheries and Ocean Sciences: Alice Bailey, ambailey2@alaska.edu
• College of Liberal Arts: Sarah Manriquez, samanriquez@alaska.edu
• College of Natural Science and Mathematics: Tanya Clayton, tfclayton@alaska.edu
• eCampus: Marissa Carl-Acosta, mmcarl2@alaska.edu 
• Geophysical Institute: GI Public Information Office, uaf-gi-public-info@alaska.edu. For assistance with news releases and other publicity needs, contact GI public information officer Rod Boyce at rcboyce@alaska.edu or 474-7185.
• Institute of Agriculture, Natural Resources and Extension: Julie Stricker, snre-enews@alaska.edu  
• International Arctic Research Center: IARC communications team, UAF-IARC@alaska.edu 
• KUAC: Nancy Tarnai, nancy.kuac@alaska.edu 
• Office of Intellectual Property and Commercialization: Amanda Byrd, agbyrd@alaska.edu
• School of Management: Andrea Miller, acmiller3@alaska.edu

If you don’t see your unit in the list above, fill out the submission form at least three days before you'd like to see your information in the newsletter. Readers are busy, so keep your items short and to the point. Limit event announcements to 100 words.

There will also be a new way to share internal events like weekly seminars, training sessions and information forums. That process will be announced in the fall or early winter.

Cornerstone will resume its Monday through Friday schedule Aug. 16. If you have any questions, please contact Tori Tragis, University Relations internal communications manager, at tatragis@alaska.edu.
