Our News Site Has a Fresh Look

You’ve probably noticed that the news site that hosts the stories for the Howl You Know newsletter has undergone a significant face-lift. We partnered with University Communications and Marketing to give the site a fresh look. We hope you find it more visually appealing and much easier to navigate. The update to the news site was the first step in an overall plan to upgrade the entire University Human Resources web presence. When we finish working with UCOMM to complete the rest of the project, we’ll update you on what that will mean for you as a user.

Here are some things to know about the news site:

Categories and Tags

We’ve grouped stories on the news site into four categories: Benefits and Wellness, Professional Development, Employee Engagement and HR and Campus Announcements. Some of the categories have subcategories. You can find the categories at the top of the site and at the bottom of each story. We hope these categories help you find stories you are interested in reading. We will add new categories and subcategories if needed. 

One of the challenges of reading a newsletter you receive by email is that you have to go back to your inbox to find and click the link to any additional newsletter stories you want to read. To make our stories easier to access, we’re adding a tag at the bottom of each story that will take you to all the stories in that month’s newsletter. For example, this month’s tag is “March 2022 Newsletter.” When you click that tag at the bottom of this story or any story from this month’s newsletter, you’ll go to a page that lists all of this month’s stories. 

Be the First To Know

You no longer have to wait a month to get new content from us. We’re updating the new site more often, so we encourage you to visit the site regularly. You also can sign up to receive occasional news updates by scrolling to the bottom of the news site landing page and entering your email address in the field under the “Be the First To Know” header. And if you do, don’t worry — you’ll still get Howl You Know each month.

Send Us a Story Idea

You can now send us story ideas from the news site. On the news site landing page, scroll down to “Send Us a Story Idea” at the bottom of the page and click “Submit Your Idea,” or go to this form. Tell us about an extraordinary employee, innovative initiative or awesome campus event.
