News and Information
News and Information/Public Affairs is an arm of the Communications office at the University of Lethbridge. The office is the primary source of contact for media relations. Responsible for the writing of news releases and coordinating media strategies, the office also creates content for the UNews website, and UWeekly.
UWeekly: An e-newsletter created every Monday during the academic year and every second Monday during the summer months (June through late August), UWeekly is a look at what's happening around campus, a celebration of the U of L community and the people who contribute to its vibrancy. It also outlines news items primarily of interest to the campus employee community.
To submit a notice for consideration to be included in UWeekly, please make sure it is posted on the Notice Board or in a linkable place on the University website (ie. a Faculty or School-specific home page, or notice column) and forward your request to Trevor Kenney by the Friday prior to creation.
