In the Know submission form

In the Know is an internal publication from the SMPH Office of Strategic Communications that is currently published two times a week on Tuesday and Thursday at 7 a.m. It communicates top-of-mind news for the SMPH community, including all faculty, staff, and students.

Members of the SMPH community with important news and information broadly relevant for the school community (faculty, staff, students) can submit it to the form below. Submission does not guarantee inclusion. News is evaluated and may be edited for length and clarity. The requested publish date may be changed due to limited space. Job openings in SMPH will only be published in In the Know if the position is limited to internal candidates, or for leadership recruitments (e.g., department chairs) conducted by the Dean’s office.

This form is for submitting news items; the popular Shout-outs to recognize and thank colleagues is a separate form.

News submission best practices

  • Submit the form below for each time you wish a blurb to run.
  • Submit events to publish 10-14 days before they occur.
  • Besides those hosted by the Dean’s Office, events will receive one initial post and one reminder. Submit each separately.
  • If you have multiple related news items, one option is to summarize them into a single blurb.

In the Know submission form

  • In case we need to follow up with you.
  • If you are unsure of where your news belongs, select more than one.
  • Click all that apply
  • Type up two-three brief sentences (no more than 60-70 words) about your announcement for a "blurb." Try to include essential information, such as dates and deadlines, and answer who, what, when, where, why, and how.
  • Paste in the links to more content you want hyperlinked from your blurb. (Hyperlinks will not work in this form so please paste in the full URL.)
  • Give a brief summary of why this needs to be communicated to all SMPH employees as a justification for inclusion.
  • NOTE: In the Know is published at 7 a.m. on Tuesday and Thursday, but is produced Monday and Wednesday afternoons. The editorial team huddles every Thursday morning. Submitting by Thursday morning for publication the following week is recommended, but not required.
