Announcements

Phase 2

A centralized communication feed for official university announcements, policy updates, compliance deadlines, and department news.

What We Will Build

The Announcements module will replace scattered email blasts and bulletin boards with a structured, searchable feed. Department heads and authorized publishers will be able to create, schedule, and target announcements to specific audiences — ensuring the right people see the right information at the right time.
