An education newsletter template for quarterly alumni class notes — an elegant single-column reader with class-year milestones, a secretary's note, and a reunion save-the-date.

The prompt
Two ways to build this email in plain language. The fastest is Temway's in-editor assistant — open the chat drawer in the email editor and paste the recipe below. Or connect Claude or ChatGPT via Temway's MCP and paste it there; the agent builds the email step by step. Either way, adapt the copy and colors to your brand.
- An email is a top-to-bottom stack of blocks — the recipe follows that order.
- A
[layout]step becomes a single image (great for heroes); everything else stays live text and links. - Theme the footer to match — the recipe's last step does exactly that.

A quarterly class-notes digest from a university alumni office. No hero artwork — just the wordmark, a letter from the class secretary, notes grouped by class year, and a reunion save-the-date. Single column, deep red and cream, the kind of email alumni forward to their old roommates.
Snapshot
- Goal: keep alumni connected to their class and the university through peer milestones, and drive one reunion registration per reader.
- Audience & tone: alumni spanning four decades. Collegial, warm, slightly formal — a class secretary writing to old friends, not a fundraising office.

Make it yours
- Swap the two class-year sections and their milestone lines for your actual submissions — keep each milestone to one sentence.
- Update the reunion dates and registration link each quarter; that’s the primary CTA.
- Recolor the crimson to your university’s primary — Georgia on cream reads as timeless and institutional at any palette.
About newsletter email templates
A newsletter is the one email category built for a relationship, not a single moment. There is no hard deadline and no one dominant CTA — the job is to show up on a predictable cadence often enough that subscribers recognize the format and know where to look for the update they actually care about.
See all newsletter templates →How is a newsletter template different from a promotional email template?
A newsletter is built for a recurring cadence and a returning audience — the design favors consistent section structure, so readers know where to look each issue, over a single hard sell. Promotional templates are built around one offer and one deadline instead.
What sections should a company newsletter include?
Most effective newsletters below hold to three or four recurring sections — a short editor's note, one or two curated highlights, and a closing link or two — rather than trying to cover everything that happened since the last send.
Can I reuse the same newsletter template every month?
Yes, and it's the recommended approach — clone it once, then swap the content each cycle so subscribers recognize the format immediately instead of relearning a new layout every send.
Do Temway newsletter templates support an unsubscribe link and merge tags?
Yes — every template includes a compliant unsubscribe footer and supports Temway's merge-tag picker for personalizing subject lines and greetings per recipient.
