Story request

Looking to promote a project, your research, student or faculty success, or a community partnership? 

If you’re a UFV employee, you can complete the form below to submit an idea to the UFV Communications team (part of the Community Engagement portfolio). If we think the idea has potential for a UFV story, we’ll contact you for further details.  
 
Your idea may lead to a story on the UFV Today blog, a social media post, an external news release, or all of the above.  

In general, we’re looking for ideas that demonstrate: 

Benefits for UFV students 
Benefits for the UFV community  
Benefits for the local community. 

What else makes a good story?  

The best stories are human-centred. Elements of a compelling story include useful information, success, a hero overcoming a challenge, innovation, human interest, and novelty. These ingredients combine to make a story that our audiences will engage with.  
 
If your topic is more of an informational or “housekeeping” nature, you can submit a short announcement to the UFV Announce blog for including it in the weekly UFV Now newsletter instead.
