Letter from the Editor
By April Basler
Hello Life University StaffHave you ever wondered what steps go into
publishing the Staff Newsletter? Well, I’m
going to share with you our process. First, the
team holds a meeting during Week Zero or
Week One. We all share our ideas, brainstorm
for articles and decide who we are going to
ask to be the Staff Spotlight, Around Campus,
etc. We all receive assignments and take
charge on sending emails, compiling lists and
writing stories. We set our deadlines. We have an internal deadline
when all submissions are due. This is usually the beginning of
Week Four. Then, my team and I edit all articles, and I format most
of them. We meet again to finalize all the documents, and then
they are sent for further editing. Once that process is complete,
we send all the content and images to the Marketing Department.

You can access past Newsletters by visiting the Staff 101 Blackboard site.
About one to two weeks later, we get a draft to review. Marketing
does the entire layout for the newsletter. We give our feedback to
Marketing and let them know of any changes to be made. Then,
when the final product is approved, the e-Reader version is made.
The newsletter gets posted on Blackboard and the LIFE website,
and links are emailed to all of the staff. So, that’s the newsletter
process in a nutshell.
We would love your feedback. Send any comments to
[email protected].
We had so many ideas this quarter, so we have a lot of great
content for you to read! Want to know more about LIFE’s Diversity
Committee? Read their article called “Diversity is the Spice of
Life.” Get to know the new Physical Plant Director Larry Riddle
in this quarter’s “Staff Spotlight.” As promised, we have brought
back “Life-Steps to Wellness,” and you can learn about how to
eat healthy on a budget. We have featured the Postgraduate
Department in this quarter’s “Around Campus” feature.
Are you a notary and want to let the LIFE community know of
your service? Read the “Notary Public” blurb and let us know your
information to be featured in the next issue.
Over the break, we all received some very sad news about several
members of the LIFE community. We lost some great people, and
one of them was a staff member. We have included a memorial
to Cynthia Lund in this issue. Several staff and faculty members
shared their memories and pictures of Cynthia. She will be
missed.
Have a great rest of the quarter!
