The New Squawk Box

Submit all items to squawkbox@fresno.edu by 10 a.m. on Tuesdays or Thursdays, the days of publication. The Squawk Box welcomes submissions on professional achievements and personal announcements. The newsletter does not run items promoting for-profit businesses. Fundraising events need to have a strong connection to Fresno Pacific University.

The Squawk is posted by the University Communications Office during the school year except for holidays. Each submission is printed once unless otherwise requested. Upcoming events will be printed until the event occurs.
