Submission Guidelines for Student Accomplishments

News releases about accomplishments are intended to promote accomplishments that have NOT been otherwise publicized.

Individual news releases will be issued and posted on the accomplishments page for the following types of accomplishments:

  • National or multi-state recognitions or awards (1st through 3rd place)
  • Statewide recognition or award (1st through 3rd place)

The following types of accomplishments will be posted to the university news page under accomplishments:

  • Regional recognition or award
  • Presentation at conference or convention
  • Article published in a magazine or journal

Information about these types of student accomplishments should be sent to StrategicCommunication@MissouriState.edu.
