Daily Digest

What is the Daily Digest?

The Daily Digest is Bryn Mawr College’s daily e-newsletter sent out to all of campus, listing important information in regards to upcoming or day-of Announcements and Events. The Daily Digest arrives by email just after midnight each weekday during the academic year.

The goals of the Daily Digest are:

To decrease the quantity of mass emails each person receives in their inbox
To increase visibility and awareness of campus happenings by encouraging email readership by having everything in one place

How can I submit my Event or Announcement to the Daily Digest?

The Daily Digest is made up of a compilation of Events and Announcements submitted by members of the Bryn Mawr College community. Anyone can submit a request for consideration. An Announcement or Event will only appear in the Daily Digest if a request is submitted by 10 a.m. the day before the Event and/or any requested advertisement dates.

Note: Over the summer, the Daily Digest will be sent every two weeks, and will cover the upcoming two weeks' worth of events.

Note: Bryn Mawr College strives to provide equal access to all College-sponsored activities and events. Learn more by reading the College's accessibility policy for events.

How many times can I submit an Event or Announcement?

Each Announcement may be promoted on up to two dates, and each Event will be promoted on the day of the event, with the option to select two additional dates.
