Homepage Event Exposure Guidelines

The university homepage (and sub-homepages for Current Students, Staff & Faculty, Alumni, Parents & Visitors and Prospective Students) offers a very high level of exposure for your events.

Features and Calendar Items

The homepages have room for two (2) Featured Events. 

What to Submit

If you would like to have an event featured on the homepages please submit the following:

  1. The Name of the event. (required)
  2. The date(s) and time the event will occur. (required)
  3. A brief (one short sentence) description. (required)
  4. An on-campus link (URL) the event will link back to on your website for complete information. (required)
  5. An appropriate image. (required)
  6. The dates you would like the announcement to run. Keep in mind our log files show BRIEF runs of up to 7 days prior to the event are most effective. Server logs show many of the highest viewed events only ran for 2 or 3 days. If space allows, events can run for longer periods of time. (required)

All information is REQUIRED

Send all the above to pc32@txstate.edu.

Please plan ahead and submit items as far in advance as possible. We recommend 4 weeks prior to when you would like the announcement to appear. The less lead time we have, the less chance it will get the desired exposure. However, you may submit items at any time and I'll do my best to get it online.

Keep in mind with 5 homepages total we can feature different events and calendar items on different pages, focusing events on your target audience. Events that appear on the main homepage should appeal to the broadest audience possible, including the off-campus community.
