Weekly Email Newsletter Exerpts

Millie Valencia

The purpose of the McGill Psychology Students' Association (MPSA) weekly listserv is to act as an updated list of resources for undergraduate students in the Psychology Department. As the primary person responsible for creating and sending the listserv to over 2000 recipients, my main tasks were to:
Write a short, captivating subject-line and hook at the beginning of the email that added personality to each listserv. The hook also featured a funny GIF image or meme.
Compile descriptions and images of upcoming events and opportunities submitted by external sources who are looking to advertise to Psychology students
Preview of the "hook" section of the MPSA listserv
