From the editor
Welcome to Insider, TU's weekly faculty/stafff newsletter. We hope you'll find that it delivers the news and information you want in a straightforward, easy-to-navigate format.
Insider consists primarily of reader-contributed news, with editorial oversight provided by University Relations. It's a work in progress, and we'll continue to refine it in response to your needs.
Insider will be e-mailed weekly while classes are in session, with monthly issues during June, July and August.
Submission guidelines
-
For the Kudos sections, Insider seeks news of recent (last 90 days) faculty/staff presentations, publications, honors, promotions, community service, etc.
-
Kudos submissions should include the submitter’s name, department and any applicable links. We will edit for length and/or university style if necessary.
-
Faculty kudos must first be reviewed by the submitter's dean or his/her designee.
-
Staff submissions may be e-mailed directly to the editor.
-
Kudos will not report on ongoing research or other work in progress. However, University Relations remains very interested in promoting such projects via Web content or media pitches.
