SEND (Student E-Newsletters from Departments)

Summary

SEND (Student E-Newsletters from Departments) is a web-based program that collects submitted messages and then creates e-newsletters for students. Messages can be targeted for students in a specific college and a specific department.

Body

SEND (Student E-Newsletters from Departments) is a web-based app that collects messages and creates a targeted weekly newsletter for students in a specific college and a specific department. 

Need to send a message to all students, regardless of college or department? Use Rebel Announcements Via Email (RAVE).

UNLV employees may submit messages, which are then reviewed and then sent by a dedicated college facilitator who approves the messages and sends the collective e-newsletter to students. Each college assigns its own facilitator.

Submitting Messages to Students

Faculty and staff can log in to SEND using your ACE account. If you are a student and wish to submit a message through SEND, please have a faculty or staff member do so on your behalf. SEND follows the established RAVE guidelines for message content criteria.

To send messages:

  1. Visit SEND
  2. Create your message, selecting the targeted college and department for your message and completing all required fields.
    • Title*: Message title
    • Category*: Announcement, Event, or Deadline
    • Choose College*: Select the College for your message. Abbreviations are assigned from MyUNLV.
    • For Department*: Select the Department for your message. Abbreviations are assigned from MyUNLV.
    • For Whom*: Select the audience by their standing.
    • Content*: Enter your message. There is a 3000 character limit, including spaces.

    • Contact Information Name, Email, and Phone: Enter the contact information for students who wish to learn more. Contact information is published.
    • Submitter Name*, Email*, and Phone*: Enter your contact information. Submitter information is used only by college facilitators in case there are additional questions and is not published. 
  3. Click Submit

After submitting your message, you should see a success message: "Your message has been processed successfully.  A facilitator will review your message soon."

The assigned college facilitator(s) will receive a notification to review and approve messages for all departments within that college. 

College Facilitators

Facilitators review messages for appropriateness and to mark messages to be sent. If a college does not have a facilitator assigned, or the previous facilitator has left the university and needs to be updated, please contact the IT Help Desk. The college dean will be contacted to approve a new facilitator.
