- From OAD: information, news, events, opportunities, updates etc….from OAD for the advising community generally centered around professional development or updates critical to the practice of advising.
Request to Share Information in AWU:
- For a submission to appear in a Sunday Advising Weekly Update, a request must be submitted by 11:59pm the Thursday before the publication. We ask that all Advising Weekly Updates requests adhere to the end of day Thursday deadline and only those submitted through the OAD Weekly Update Request web form will be considered for announcement (please do not send emails directly to Joey or anyone else).
- We are pleased to provide you with an easier way to submit your news/announcements and upcoming events so that OAD can share them with advisors and students. OAD Advising Weekly Updates will be sent out weekly and are prepared on Fridays, so please keep that in mind as you plan to advertise your events or share your news with the advising community. To submit an update, please use the OAD Weekly Update Request web form. Please direct questions to Lisa Hehman (lhehman@uic.edu).
- No news is good news! You can assume your request will be published if you do not hear from us. We will reach out to you if there are additional questions or concerns that need to be addressed.
- OAD will post announcements that are specifically requested from the community, one of our planning partners, or our staff to provide information to the advising community. External third-party announcements are considered on a case-by-case basis and generally are not included unless they are specifically intended to provide a service or information to the UIC advising community. We do not add announcements that are not specifically requested within this form or requested in some manner. Submissions made after the deadline will not be included in the week’s publication.
