Our channels and how to submit your news and events:
The Student Life blog shares articles written by students and staff alongside important news and advice.
How to submit: please email your blog copy and any graphics through to studentcomms@reading.ac.uk.
We control big screen outside on the Carrington building, and the Palmer reception screens and can add your information/graphics to either of these.
How to submit: please send your graphic(s) to studentcomms@reading.ac.uk in the dimensions 1920 x 1080 and avoid designs with excessive or small text as it will not display well on the screen. Simple designs, with clear, accessible, large text are best. Note: QR codes are not suitable for this.
The student website is not a communications channel, but a digital handbook of the most important information for students.
How to amend content: If you need to update a page that is related to your department/if you're a content owner: please send your updates through to studentcomms@reading.ac.uk and include a link to the page you would like updating.
This is our personalised news portal for all students at Reading. General news posted here will also appear on the app for staff to see. We can also use Me@Reading to target information, and these articles will appear only to the targeted students. Common targeting includes: stage of course (year 1, year 2, year 3), programme type (UG/PG), and by School or department.
How to submit: please submit using the student news and events content submission form.
We have a termly schedule of Student Life newsletters, these go to all current PG and UG/Foundation students.
