If you want to send a message to students, the most suitable means to do so depends on the subject of the communication, the specific target audience and the impact of the message on this target audience. If it concerns a message with a high impact on someones education or way of learning, please contact the communication officer of your unit or student-news@utwente.nl to advice you in an effective communication mix where special attention is paid to informing relevant educational directors. The studentportal is used as an addition to the other means in the mix.
