myMyAV范: new weekly all-student e-newsletter to be launched in early October
18 September 2014
myMyAV范 is the new weekly all-student e-newsletter developed to help improve the way MyAV范 communicates with all undergraduates and postgraduates.
As part of MyAV范's
commitment to improving the student experience through MyAV范 2034, the newsletter will promote
MyAV范-wide announcements, news, events, opportunities and need-to-know
information.听
To be launched at the start of term, the aim is to use myMyAV范 as platform to collate content from across MyAV范 which is relevant to the vast majority of students. This email platform will also allow us to reduce the torrent of central emails currently pushed to students on a daily basis,which they have told us is counter-productive, causing annoyance and often preventing engagement with key issues.
Staff and students from all parts of MyAV范 have assisted in the process of developing myMyAV范 through a steering group made up of communications staff in various departments and MyAV范U, and a focus group comprising students from across MyAV范. We also launched a Facebook competition earlier in the summer for students to name the e-newsletter (the final choice was myMyAV范).听
Specifically, the newsletter will flag important announcements, promote events open to all students, showcase opportunities to get involved with activities around campus and highlight suitable media items of interest. myMyAV范 also provides the opportunity for students to read more about the diverse range of people who make up the campus. There is also space for staff and students to feature their own images, infographics or media from around MyAV范.
Throughout the year, we are looking to colleagues across MyAV范 to feed in to the newsletter with items suitable for circulation to MyAV范's 30,000 students. If you or your colleagues have items which you think may be ideal for inclusion, please send an email to studentcommunications@ucl.ac.uk.
myMyAV范 will be sent out every Friday and the deadline for submissions each week is Wednesday midday.
