Obituaries
The Michigan IT News accepts submitted obituaries for active or retired faculty or staff members that are provided by family, colleagues, a university department, or funeral homes within three months of the faculty or staff member’s death. They should not exceed 600 words and can include a high-resolution image that will be cropped to a head shot.
The submission deadline is noon on the last Wednesday of the month preceding publication of the Michigan IT News’ next publication. Obituaries should be submitted via Google Doc or a plain-text format via the submission form.
Obituaries are published in the Michigan IT News newsletter and are included on the Michigan IT News website. Links to obituaries or memorial articles for active faculty or staff only, and which are published on another university unit’s website, may be included in the Michigan IT News when the editors are made aware of them.
