Campus Chronicle Redesign
The Campus Chronicle, the college’s online daily newsletter, has been redesigned and updated.
We wanted to alert the campus community about some of the changes involved in the upgrade, and we encourage you to check the Chronicle each day and also use it to post your own announcements.
The Chronicle works best when everyone gets in the habit of checking it and using it to let the campus community know what’s happening in their department!
Highlights
- The Chronicle was redesigned to be more visually appealing and easier to read. You’ll notice that tabs above the stories allow you to quickly look through all of the most recent entries in a particular area like “Events,” “Accolades” or “Classifieds.” The search box is also more prominent and easier to find.
- All stories will remain visible on the Chronicle homepage until they get replaced by newer entries. We’ve set a maximum number of stories at 10 for the “News” and “Classifieds” section and five stories for all other categories. Again, this should make it easier and quicker for you to skim through the headlines and read further, if you wish. Older posts still will be visible by clicking “more” at the end of each section.
- We have made it easier to submit student announcements, which can be found on the “Students” page (www.hvcc.edu/students) and on their MyHudsonValley/Blackboard homepage. Faculty and staff will check a box when submitting Chronicle announcements if they want them to go to students as well as faculty staff. They also have the ability to just post to the Student Announcements and not to the Chronicle, if their message is only relevant to students.
- The ability to comment on posts, embed photos in posts and change formatting/typography are still available in the upgraded Chronicle.
If you have any questions or comments, let us know but contacting Deborah Gardner at d.gardner@hvcc.edu or at ext. 8071.
Again, we encourage you to check the Campus Chronicle as often as possible AND make use of its ability to reach a campus-wide audience.
Thanks,
The Office of Communications and Marketing
