Pitch a story!
Have a story idea for the SOH Communications team?
The UCI School of Humanities Communications team wants to help tell your stories! Depending on the type of story, we will consider it for our social media platforms and/or website storytelling platforms. When it makes sense, stories might also be pitched for cross-publication across UCI storytelling platforms and to media outlets.These are the types of stories we’re looking for:
Research
- Significant faculty grants & fellowships.
- Faculty book publications (six-month lead time is ideal).
- Grad student and faculty research that is making a difference or an impact on our community, people or in the world; research that helps us reframe/rethink history or a historical moment; and/or research that ties to a current topic discussed in the news or popular culture.
- Large, public-facing events with a well-known speaker(s).
- Innovative pedagogy.
- New academic offerings, initiatives.
- Student stories that are inspiring, informative, empowering, tug at the heartstrings and/or showcase the value of a humanities degree. First-gen students are also a UC-wide focus.
- Alumni stories that are inspiring, informative, empowering, tug at the heartstrings and/or showcase the value of a humanities degree. Alumni who are doing unique things with their humanities degree(s) are also a focus.
- Examples of community service & public outreach that show how the SOH is making a positive impact on society.
- If you’ve been quoted or featured in mainstream media outlets.
