Political Candidate Event Submissions: As Lehigh University is a non-profit institution of higher education that is exempt from federal income tax under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, the University is prohibited from “participating in, or intervening in (including the publishing or distributing of statements), any political campaign on behalf of (or in opposition to) any candidate for public office.” Announcements of events related to the direct support or opposition to a particular candidate will not be included in the University Calendar of Events listings.

- Exclude date, location, time and audience from title.
- Quotation marks should not be used in your title.

A strong and clear event description helps market an event: tell users what will happen at the event and what they might get out of attending.
For events, include the most interesting and most important information in the first paragraph. It is read first and needs to engage people quickly.
