Faces of the Pack guidelines

The goal of Faces of the Pack pieces is to highlight students with compelling stories. These stories help prospective students see themselves at the University by covering students from every background and across all colleges and schools. We want to offer a candid look into the featured Pack members’ lives, highlighting more than just accomplishments. Information about any campus services taken advantage of by the featured Pack member should also be included to help get the word out about these services.

• Length: 700 to 1,000 words
• Tone: Third-person POV, knowledgeable yet approachable, respectful, accessible and readable/entertaining
• Images: Candid shots of the subject on campus are great, if possible. Images they have from projects, programs or events listed ideal. Images should be high resolution whenever possible.
