The Campus Life Weekly is a weekly publication produced and distributed by the Office of Academic and Student Affairs. It was launched in the Fall of 2010 to serve as a vehicle to aid students in advertising and learning about events and activities that were open to the entire student population -- thus encouraging interdisciplinary interaction.
- Submissions to the Campus Life Weekly must pertain directly to the entire student body of UM
- Only events that are open to the entire student community, not just those in a particular school, will be printed
- Space is limited so the event description is limited to 300 characters
- The grammar and accuracy of the submission is the responsibility of the individual submitting the entry
- As a result of the high volume of submissions, some entries will only run the week of the advertised event
- Newsletters are published weekly on Thursday evenings during the Fall & Spring semesters
- All entries must be submitted by 5:00 pm the Tuesday prior to the publication date
