How to get a CSER Announcement Posted

1. Write out your announcement as though you were DIRECTLY ADDRESSING THE STUDENTS.

Include the following:
1) Basic description of the service opportunity available (who you are, what you do)
2) Basic expectations* of the students (days, times, qualifications, etc.)
3) Contact information (phone #s, e-mails, website links - but only the e-mail or website can be made active; normally we make the e-mail an active link)

*NOTE: You must be able to provide a minimum of 20 hours of service time for each student who enrolls. If you need them for more, you must communicate this up front. (You do not have to include this in the announcement, but please be aware of this policy).

2. Make the announcement appealing, but do not include any graphics or fancy fonts (they cannot be posted).

3. Do not send it in an attachment, just write straight text to an e-mail.

4. Send the e-mail to whoneycutt@liberty.edu

5. Include "CSER Opp" in the Subject Bar

6. Send your e-mail.

7. If it is not posted in 24 hours, send a reminder.

8. Note that the Liberty Splash Page has many departments posting announcements on a moment by moment basis, and that everytime one is posted, the latest one is moved down immediately. Eventually they end up on the second page, and thus not in the students' immediate view. If you want your announcement refreshed, just repeat this process.

9. Understand that we can not guarantee by this posting that students will respond or enroll.

10. Deadlines for CSER registration are (roughly) October 1 in the fall, March 1 in the spring and July 1 in the summer. PLEASE try to have your announcment(s) to us no later than a week prior to these dates.

FINALLY - If and when your announcment has succesfully helped you find the volunteers you need, please remember to notify us (at the e-mail above) so we can remove the announcement. Thank You.
