These FAQs provide more information about EagleEye.
How do I get on the distribution list and access EagleEye?
As a member of UMW faculty or staff, it will be automatically delivered to your inbox every two weeks. Updates will be posted on a regular basis and accumulated content will be pushed to your email inbox every other week.
How do I contribute to EagleEye?
Please contribute to EagleEye! You can fill out the web form at http://umweagleeye.wpengine.com/contribute/. This form is located via the “Contribute” button on the EagleEye homepage. Your post will be listed as “pending” until a member of University Communications has reviewed, approved and posted the information. Thanks for your contributions!
Can I contribute a post anonymously?
All posts will contain the email address of the writer or person submitting content and the date posted. You can post items for other colleagues. Your submissions will be moderated to ensure you are a current faculty or staff member.
Can I comment on a posted article?
Yes, click on comments just above any article and submit your comment. Your message will be reviewed and may become public with your name displayed to identify you. As with submitting a post, your comment submission will be moderated to ensure you are a current faculty or staff member.
I want to distribute an e-mail blast or announcement, how do I do that?
EagleEye provides an alternative way to get your messages out to the UMW community. EagleEye sends out an e-mail every other week linking to the current issue. Any messages that could go out in an email blast to campus can be included as an article or announcement. For non-emergency notifications, including your message in EagleEye could decrease the amount of messages in our inboxes.
I was recently recognized by a distinguished institution. Formerly I provided that information to Faculty Notes, which was published twice-yearly. Where do I send it now?
Submit your post to EagleEye and select the category Professional Notes. That will post it under the Professional Notes section on the EagleEye home page.
What are the regular features where I can post information?
- Professional Notes: Faculty and staff reports on scholarly/professional activities — awards, publications, presentations, or conferences attended.
- Announcements: This section is for timely announcements that need to get to faculty and staff. This includes special interest news, entertainment-related announcements or anything you want the campus community to know about, including lectures, concerts, plays, bookstore discounts, parking information and other items of general interest.
How do I get my submission included in the Top Stories or What’s New sections?
All “contributed” posts will be published to either Announcements or Professional Notes. Subsequent promotion of faculty and staff submissions to the Top Stories or What’s New @ UMW sections is an editorial choice reserved by University Communications. If you’d like to request inclusion in Top Stories or What’s New @ UMW sections, contact Sarah Mahoney at smahoney@umw.edu.
What other regular features will be carried in the newsletter?
Other regular features will include:
- Calendar of Events: athletics events, cultural events as listed on the campus events calendar
- UMW in the News: Articles and notices about UMW in the media.
