UM employs a variety of channels to share campus news. These include news releases, social media, e-publications, websites and print publications.  

UM Events Calendar 

Campus events are orangized and managed by Griz Hub. Events posted to the online calendar are automatically generated to be included in UM e-publications such as UMToday. 

Social media

University Marketing and Communications department maintains UM’s central social media channels such as Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and YouTube. News releases and online calendar items are considered for inclusion on social media channels, as well as other submitted content such as excellent photographs or video.   

InfoGriz emails

Some departments have permission to mass email UM employees and students via the InfoGriz system. University Markeing and Communications generally tries to combine mass emails into UMToday and/or UM Student Weekly in an effort to avoid inundating inboxes, but it will do mass emails for individual news items under special circumstances. UMToday is distributed via InfoGriz. Request an InfoGriz email by emailing cary.shimek@umontana.edu or news@umontana.edu or calling 406-243-5914.
