Submit a request for a story, announcement, press release, or event below. All submissions are subject to review and approval by the Communications and Marketing team.
All submissions should be received at least 5 business days prior to desired publication or distribution date. The submitter is responsible for ensuring the accuracy of all information. If you have questions prior to submitting please email medicine.communications@wsu.edu.
News
News and information of interest to faculty, staff, students and the WSU College of Medicine community that display on the College of Medicine News site. Story lengths should be in the 400 to 600-word range or shorter.
Please be sure to include any links or images that pertain to your story.
Press Release
Press releases should promote WSU College of Medicine accomplishments, support the college brand and elevate the college’s profile. Press releases should be of interest to general audiences outside the WSU community. Writers should indicate clearly that an item is intended for external distribution to media outlets and describe why it would be of interest to a general audience. The communications team will provide guidance on whether information is better suited as an external press release or a WSU Insider story.
The Communications and Marketing team partners with the central News and Media Relations team to prepare and distribute press releases.

- Targeted training and event opportunities
