Listserv, Posters, and Social Media Submissions

General Information:

To request a message be broadcast to the Arts Community through our weekly AUS Listserv, please follow the instructions carefully below. For more information, please get in touch with our VP of Communications.

Please note: The deadline for posting your listing in the following listserv is Friday at 6:00 PM EDT (see Listservs requirements below). 

  • Any posts/listings sent after Friday @ 6:00 PM will have to wait until next week’s listserv submission. 
    • E.g.: if you send me the listserv email after 6:00 p.m. or by tomorrow, the listserv you sent will be posted in two (2) weeks and not for next week’s listserv.I established this day to give time for me to copy-paste onto a document to be sent and for my translators a few days to translate them. We are McGill students with our academic responsibilities, social life, and occupations. We are human, after all. 🙂

       

  • Posts will be accepted via email (communications.aus@mail.mcgill.ca) ONLY as we had issues with people, clubs, and associations submitting to the AUS website (it says token issue). Any listings sent on other associated emails will be rejected.

Post requirements for the LISTSERVS via EMAIL: 

  1. Add a title, date, time, location, and person to contact for questions.
  2. Keep descriptions under 25-50 words MAX (excluding the links). No one will read more unless they click the link/poster and are interested. Anything over 50 words will be cut off.
  3. Submit a photo in SQUARE/rectangle format. Instagram Square or Portrait Size, ideally.
  4. Please include a link to your website/social media where they can redirect themselves to the event of interest.
  5. Please not spam email me. It is most likely that I got your email and will post it on the listserv unless you’ve asked me a question. In that case, I will most likely reply.
  6. Remember, we are students just like you. We are humans, after all. 🙂
  7. Not too sure? See our listserv checklist below!
