• Department Website Stories

  • Submit a story for the department website, including news about faculty, student, and staff awards; alumni jobs and achievements; undergraduate and graduate class projects; faculty, student, and alumni research; and departmental events.

  • Story

  • If submitting a story about your current job, please note any education and/or on the job training that got you to your current position and how NC State History Department played a role in your career pathway.

    Guidelines from the College: Aim for 400 to 600 words. People will read longer content if it's compelling and if it's not intimidating long at first glance. If you keep your paragraphs reasonably short (40-50 words, generally), the story may be longer (up to 1,600 words). The title and first sentence are key. The website blocks will pull the title and first sentence, so the first sentence should be designed to pull in readers and convince them to click through to read the whole story. Include quotations from participants where relevant. Upload images below, preferrably with a 16:9 landscaped aspect ratio. (We will add "pull quotes" and images as well as sub-headings to break up the copy.) Keep the college’s “key messages” in mind while writing stories: world-leading faculty at the forefront of intellectual and interdisciplinary innovation; purposeful scholarship, research and technology; extensive partnerships with communities, nonprofits, universities, businesses and governments; and the well-established leader in experiential education. Be sure to include all pertinent information, including specific people or institutions involved, relevant dates or semester, and quotes from participants.

  • Images

  • The website is optimized for landscaped images and videos with a 16:9 aspect ratio. Most newer phones automatically take pictures with a 16:9 aspect ratio, and digital cameras can usually be set to do so. If you do not know how to take photos with a 16:9 aspect ratio, do not know how to crop your images to a 16:9 aspect ratio, or do not know if your images have a 16:9 aspect ratio, we can crop them for you. However, please do images with a landscape/horizontal (rather than portrait/vertical) orientation.
