Cal Poly Out and About
submission Guidelines

Do you have a story you want to share with the CENG community? The CENG Connection blog includes official announcements, news, alumni highlights and other information relevant to the College of Engineering. Please fill out the following form, and someone from our communications team will reach out if we think your story would be a good fit. 

Text Format Guidelines​

Items should be 150 words or less. A pyramid format is followed, with the most important information first: the name of the event or guest; the time, day, date and location of the event; followed by a brief summary; and contact details, and/or a link for more information. CENG reserves the right to edit items for length, style, clarity and consistency.

Photography and Graphics Guidelines

A main image is required for all submissions. Images should have visuals that are easily visible when sized down for the online newsletter. High-resolution photos are preferred. Low-resolution photos may be too grainy to be used.

The following items are not appropriate for inclusion in the newsletter:

  • Commercial announcements
  • Personal news, such as birth or marriage announcements
  • News or events about community events, organizations, or agencies that do not pertain directly to Cal Poly or CENG
  • Messages or material that is of questionable taste or has the potential to be divisive

For more information or questions, please send an email to CENGNews@calpoly.edu or contact Charlotte Tallman, Director of Marketing and Communications at 805-756-6402 or by email at ctallman@calpoly.edu.
