Media Opportunities & Requests

To help us effectively promote news, events, and announcements, please review the guidelines below before submitting materials. Following these policies ensures timely publication and consistent quality across platforms.

Marketing & Communications Request Guidelines:

  • Submissions must be directly relevant to Industrial Engineering. The department reserves the right to decline requests that do not align with IE priorities.
  • We will make reasonable efforts to catch errors, but submitters are responsible for proofreading all materials prior to submission.
  • Detailed submissions (who, what, when, where, why, impact) allow us to create stronger and more timely coverage.
  • The department reserves editorial discretion over formatting, messaging, and distribution methods.
