  • New look and feel to the News & Stories section of our website.
  • Enhanced newsletter format, content, and schedule. Starting October 28, you’ll receive two shorter emails a week.
    • On Monday mornings, we’ll distribute “This week at Acadia” that will showcase upcoming events and notable deadlines and opportunities.
    • On Thursdays, you’ll receive a “Campus Roundup” with feature news and stories, accomplishments in our community, tips, and photos from recent events.
  • New forms that make it easier than ever to share your good news and important info with the campus community:
    • Applause & Accolades form (share employee accomplishments)
    • Story lead form (let us know about Acadia happenings that could potentially be featured in stories or publicity)
    • Campus brief form (to help us promote your ready-to-go info on things like grant opportunities, new resources, surveys, committee recruitment, and more)
