Newslink Seeks Photos from Inaugural Staff Day of Service
Newslink is seeking photo submissions from SLU staff members on Saint Louis University's first-ever Staff Day of Service.
The submissions will be part of a photo story that will be published in the Wednesday, Oct. 24, Newslink edition. Submissions may also be shared on SLU’s social media accounts.
In the spirit of “setting the world on fire,” staff and faculty members at Saint Louis University will have a chance to serve and celebrate through a service half-day in the lead up to the University’s traditional staff celebration, Cannonball Picnic.
The new service day will take place the afternoon of Monday, Oct. 22. The service activity is one of several community events held over fall break including the John O’Leary event and the Cannonball picnic.
Submissions must be received by noon on Tuesday, Oct. 23, to be considered for inclusion in the story. University Marketing and Communications will make the final determinations of what photos are included in the story.
Newslink has some recommendations and guidelines for submissions:
- Photos must be submitted digitally via email to Newslink with the subject line as “Staff Day of Service Story Submission.”
- Submitted photos should be high-resolution (over 960 pixels or more) and clear/crisp.

- Submissions should include a one sentence description of what is going on in the photo, where it was taken and when the photo was taken. If known, the names and SLU affiliations of those depicted in the photo should be included.
