Your Merit faculty account allows you to create content about your faculty much the same as you would for your students. The biggest difference is that stories about faculty will typically be sent as Newsroom press releases, not achievements.
Two Options for Publishing
You can publish faculty press releases by logging into either your institution's primary Merit account, or your specialized Merit for Faculty account.
The only difference between publishing in your institutional and faculty accounts, is where the press release appears online. Faculty press releases sent though your main Merit account will be mixed in with all of your other (student) news releases. Whereas press releases sent through your Merit for Faculty account will appear in a separate faculty-only press release archive. We typically recommend using your main institutional Merit account.
Sending a Faculty Press Release
After logging into your chosen account, click on the Send Press Release button in the top right corner of your screen to publish a news release:
Merit's press release workflow will be identical to sending other press releases through Newsroom. Learn more about how to send a press release.
Please note that we recommend building a distribution list before sending your press release. Learn more about building a distribution list.
