Preparing to host a student event? Offering a new service or resource? Need student feedback? Make sure your message gets straight to the source by reaching out to the ’Runner.

The ’Runner, a weekly student-facing publication that gets delivered straight to students’ inboxes, is designed to foster student success and keep students on track to graduation. It’s also the perfect way to get your message straight into student email inboxes.

To submit a story idea, service or resource, email studentcomms@msudenver.edu with a short pitch or blurb, a relevant link and a timeline. ’Runner blurbs are generally two or three sentences and a link. Information should appeal to a large number of students and focus on the benefits to students.

Upcoming events are pulled from the University calendar (Trumba). If your event is not shared to Trumba, you can email event information (location, date, time, links to register and attend, and an image, if possible) to studentcomms@msudenver.edu.

Do you need faculty and staff support in promoting your student-facing program, service or event? The Early Bird can still help. Contact earlybirdeditor@msudenver.edu to discuss story options and develop the best way to tell your story.
